The Battle for Permanence and Entry to Libertadores and Sudamericana 2024 Heats Up After Date 6 of the League Cup

The fight burns for permanence and entry to the Libertadores and Sudamericana 2024 after date 6 of the League Cup

With the 6th round of the League Cup over and eight games ahead, the battle for permanence is the most interesting in the current competition with 15 teams separated by only 7 points. If you take into account that Arsenal de Sarandí is almost condemned to relegation due to its poor performance in the average table, it could be said that half of the clubs participating in the first division competition have one eye on the standings. which will define a decrease due to the Annual accumulation.

This Monday the day that had six games with committed teams and also with those who dream of entering international competitions was completed. In the first round, Platense scored by defeating Unión 1-0 in a true battle for relegation. The Squid moved away again, while the Tatengue once again flirted with the most feared area.

In addition, Sarmiento tied without goals with Belgrano de Córdoba, Racing saved an agonizing draw in Mendoza with Godoy Cruz and became the only leader in its area. Meanwhile, the other big surprise came from Colón, who was in the relegation zone according to the Annual Table and turned their match against Argentinos Juniors, who if they won would look down on everyone from above in Zone A.

For this reason, if the tournament ended at this time, Gimnasia (36) and Vélez (36) would be fighting a tiebreaker duel to see who will accompany Arsenal de Sarandí (25, they would still lose the category due to averages) to the Primera Nacional in 2024. With the minimum advantage are Banfield (37), Colón (37), Unión (37) and Huracán (37). Then Central Córdoba (38), Independiente (39), Tigre (39) and Sarmiento (39) appear. With more air are Instituto (41), Barracas Central (41) and Platense (41). Atlético Tucumán and Newell’s are breathing for now, both with 43.

That is to say, ten of the fourteen matches of this 6th round of the League Cup had at least one protagonist in the fight for permanence or entry to the Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana 2024, taking into account that there are 27 points in dispute until the end of the group stage of the competition. It should be noted that also in these eight tickets to the League Cup playoffs (the first four in each zone will qualify) or the tickets to the continental tournaments, they will also be defined by the Annual Table. At this point, through Zone A, Huracán, Colón, Independiente and River Plate are qualifying; while in Zone B, those who occupy a playoff position are Racing, Belgrano, Defensa y Justicia and Sarmiento.
