The fight is in the annual table since in the averages Arsenal is almost condemned to play next season in the Primera Nacional. Even Sarandí’s team is also last on the general roster for 2023, which brings together the 27 matches of the Professional League and the 14 of the group stage of this competition. Excluding those from Viaducto, the only relegation that will be settled by the Annual Table has Huracán in the last position with 31 points, but with ten teams positioned with only six points of difference. It should be noted that Tigre, with the goalless draw once morest Estudiantes, added a unit that placed it seven behind with 38.

Colón, which beat Rosario Central 2-1, reached 34 points and breathes by being one point above Vélez and Gimnasia. For its part, Banfield lost at home once morest Argentinos Juniors and with 36 they still cannot get away from that fight.
