With the forgiveness of River, who will be visiting Vélez in the last round, the history of this football Saturday in the League Cup will go through the fight for permanence. It is that there will be action for five of the six most committed of the annual table, including the direct duels of Gimnasia-Independiente and Huracán-Colón.
Gymnastics vs Independent
Things will start at 3:30 p.m. in La Plata with Lobo (25th in the annual table with 30 points) and Red (22nd with 31). Independiente arrives better given the successful and controversial debut of Carlos Tevez with a 2-1 victory over Vélez with an agonizing penalty that gave rise to talk. Of course, Avellaneda’s men don’t have anything left over and although they come from getting three points from the one that is now relegated (Huracán), a new defeat will leave them close to the abyss again. For Gymnastics, the start of the Cup could not have been worse: 0-3 with Talleres and 0-2 with Colón and all the alarms sounded in Chirola Romero’s team, which also sold two of its best players in this market, Ignacio Miramón ( Lille from France) and Alan Velasco (Argentines). Television is on behalf of ESPN Premium.
Hurricane vs Columbus
The other one-on-one with a promotional flavor is that of Huracán (27th with 28) and Colón (23rd with 31), from 7:00 p.m. in Parque Patricios (by TNT Sports). El Globo hasn’t been able to get out of the least coveted position in the annual table for a while and that’s what it’s been raising since Diego Martínez’s arrival at the bank. Those of the Burning come from losing in Córdoba (1-2 with Talleres) but before they had added three consecutive wins, not to mention another joy for Copa Argentina. Colón entered the League Cup in a great way, winning its two games and during the week suffered a defeat by the Copa Argentina that, after all, saved them the worry of the double against Pipo Gorosito’s men.
Velez vs River
The one who is missing among those who fight not to descend is Vélez. He adds 30 points in the annual table and the forecasts are not favorable for him, since he receives River. Gallego Méndez’s team won just one of their last six -a Barracas Central, thanks to a goal against- and the institutional situation of the club is chaotic. For their part, Martín Demichelis’ men come from recovering from the 2-3 draw in their debut against Argentinos and thrashing Barracas 5-1 at the Monumental. Without Libertadores or the Argentine Cup, the Millionaire bets everything on the League Cup. The match will start at 9:30 p.m. and will go on TNT Sports.
Four for the South American
The other two games of the day can also be classified hand in hand, but by entering the South American (they rank from 5th to 10th). At 4:30 p.m. Lanús (6th with 45 points) and Godoy Cruz (8th with 44) will be playing, while at 7:00 p.m. Belgrano (13th with 40) and Newell’s (11th with 41) will play. The clash in La Fortaleza will be televised by TNT Sports while the one in Córdoba will be on Public TV.
