Students have one goal in mind for the remainder of the semester: to ensure continental participation in 2023, either in the Copa Libertadores, something very difficult, or in the Copa Sudamericana, an issue that appears to be more accessible.
However, to achieve this, the team now led by Pablo Quatrocchi must revalidate the three points achieved last Monday once morest Lanús in UNO when they visit Huracán tomorrow at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó from 7:00 p.m. and with the arbitration of Yael Falcón Pérez.
Faced with this scenario, the interim DT of Pincha knows that he will not be able to count on Paraguayan Jorge Morel in the background, so Luciano Lollo is the one who appears with the most chances of returning to the starting eleven.
In addition, an issue that Quatrocchi and his team will evaluate in the last practice before the crossover is the possibility of adding Pablo Piatti to the squad list, who following the strong contracture in one of his twins suffered on the River court, might be part of the last match once morest Garnet at Jorge Luis Hirschi.
Beyond this issue, the entry of the former Banfield by the Guaraní would be the only change prepared by a coaching staff that was very satisfied with what was done on Monday once morest those led by Frank Darío Kudelka.
If this trend is maintained as the only modification, the eleven of the Pincha to visit the Globe, direct rival, would have: Mariano Andújar; Leonardo Godoy, Fabián Noguera, Luciano Lollo and Emmanuel Mas; Manuel Castro, Jorge Rodríguez, Benjamin Rollheiser and Franco Zapiola; Mauro Boselli and Leandro Diaz.
pablo piatti, the great unknown
As for the assembly of the bench of substitutes, the doubt for Quatrocchi and his collaborators is the same as last week, in the previous one with Lanús in UNO, with a proper name: Pablo Piatti.
For now, the former Elche midfielder has been recovering from the contracture in his calf, so he will be required in today’s morning training to see if he manages to get into tomorrow’s commitment at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó Palace.
If so, Piatti will occupy a place in the relay bench, seeking to be an alternative in the complement if the coach so decides within a process that appears to be very even.
As for two other important proper names such as José Sosa and Fernando Zuqui, likely absent, both evolve favorably but they do not want to rush them. The safest thing is that he will protect them both for the rest of the championship.
cut the long streak and once morest a direct rival
Students have before them an unbeatable chance thinking regarding the desire to qualify for the international cups. And it is that beyond an uncomfortable streak of ten games without victories as a visitor, Pincha has to be the host of a direct rival, something key considering the institutional objective.
Currently, the Globe is one point above the León in the classification zone, both in South American positions, the first with 59 and the second with 58.
In this way, the three points at stake in the Ducó appear as an obligation for a Pincha who has Tigre (57) and Defense and Justice (56) hot on his heels and pursuing the same objective. A little further behind are also Atlético Tucumán, with 55, and San Lorenzo, with one more game and 52.
The truth is that Estudiantes has gone ten games without a win outside of La Plata, where they suffered seven defeats (River, Atlético Tucumán, Argentinos Juniors, Boca, Tigre, Arsenal and Independiente), and three draws (Rosario Central, Platense and San Lorenzo). The only victory, far away in the championship, occurred during his visit to Mar del Plata to face Aldosivi, within the framework of the second day of the contest.
the lion, attentive to the crossing between godoy cruz and argentines
Beyond focusing on their own, Students might receive good news in the previous one, and from the hand of Gabriel Milito and his team. And it is that if Godoy Cruz does not score once morest Argentinos Júniors in the Islas Malvinas de Mendoza, Pincha will have his place practically assured in the next South American Cup.
On the other hand, they will be somewhat behind in the classification for the Libertadores, since those from La Paternal would go seven points apart (65 once morest 58) with nine still to be played.
The truth is that in each game of such a tight year there is a lot at stake. Not only for the protagonists, but for third parties, like the Pincha in this case.
