Racing Club will visit Arsenal de Sarandí tomorrow in search of the first win of the tournament, in a match corresponding to the fourth day of the Professional Soccer League.
The match will be played from 9:30 p.m. at the Julio Humberto Grondona stadium, will be refereed by Germán Delfino and will be broadcast by the ESPN Premium cable signal.
The team led by coach Fernando Gago is located in the 21st. position with two points, following a weak start with a loss (1-0 once morest Argentinos) and two draws, 0-0 with Belgrano in the debut and 2-2 once morest Tigre in the last presentation at the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
The “academic” DT has in mind making two modifications to visit the “Viaducto” team: in the midfield his idea is to include Aníbal Moreno following having recovered from a gonaglia in his left knee that sidelined him from the last game.
In the event that the player from Catamarca returns to ownership, he will do so to replace Juan Nardoni, who will move to the right sector of midfield instead of Nicolás Oroz. Maximiliano Moralez will complete the line of flyers.
The other possible variant would be the return of the Colombian attacker Johan Carbonero, who missed the clash once morest “Bicho” and started on the substitute bench once morest Victoria’s “Matador”.
The Colombian forward left behind the discomfort due to a strong blow to his right ankle, so “Pintita” will have to decide if he will give him ownership once more or if he will keep “Demonio” Hauche in the attack as he did once morest “Matador” ” of Victoria, a match in which he contributed with an assist and scored a goal.
The “Academy” is obliged to win to get out of the last places in the table, however, DT Gago will surely take into account the game next Wednesday once morest San Martín de Formosa for the 32nd. final of the Argentine Cup to finish defining the starting eleven.
Arsenal, meanwhile, is in 23rd. place with a single point following a draw and two defeats, the last 2-1 once morest Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito.
Coach Carlos Ruiz will have to make two modifications due to the expulsions of defenders Joaquín Pombo and Adrián Sporle, who will be replaced by Facundo Cardozo and Felipe Peña.
In the midfield, Franco Vega might take the place of Tiago Banega, while in the offensive the Santotomense Luis Leal will leave for the Uruguayan striker Santiago Paiva to enter.
The history between Racing and Arsenal records a total of 31 clashes with 13 wins for the “Academy”, 7 for Sarandí’s and 11 draws.
