Talleres wasted a big opportunity to climb into the Copa Sudamericana zone after their 3-2 away defeat at relegation candidates Patronato last Monday. That loss broke a three-game unbeaten run of one draw and two successes in the Superliga. Talleres remain on 31 points in 11th place of the league table, but they won their last two home matches in this competition over San Lorenzo and Huracan.
Colon’s task to stay in the top flight becomes harder week after week. Last time out, the side succumbed to a heavy blow against Boca Juniors, losing 4-0 at home. El Sabalero hasn’t claimed any victories in their last nine league encounters (drawing two and losing seven). They earned only 18 points in 22 rounds and are still into the relegation zone. Colon also holds the worst away record in the Superliga, with a single point in ten travels.
