The definition of the League Cup is red hot and this Saturday began with matches that, despite having direct interference in the fight for permanence, had an impact on both the classification of Zone A and Zone B. There are still 10 games to be played, with six that are important for the classification. However, You can establish what the matches would be like with the current positions
League Cup standings
The 1st from one zone will go against the 4th from the other, while the 2nd will face the 3rd, respectively.
Zone A: River 23 (+8), Huracán 23 (+6), Independiente 23 (+5) and Banfield 23 (+5).
Zone B: Godoy Cruz 22 (+6), Belgrano 21 (+5), Racing 21 (+3), Platense 20 (-3). The first three are already classified.
Clashes
River (1°A) vs. Platense (4°B)Belgrano (2°B) vs. Independiente (3rd A) Godoy Cruz (1st B) vs. Banfield (4°A)Hurricane (2°A) vs. Racing (3°B)
*A single match on a neutral court. 90 minutes will be played and, if the tie persists, penalties. There will only be overtime in the final.
What do Zone A teams need to qualify?
For now, in Zone A River is first with 23 points (+8). With the same number of units, but worse goal difference are Huracán (+6), Independiente (+5) and Banfield (+5). An impressive parity. Vélez, with 22, is 5th and no longer has a chance. The one who does have his chance is Rosario Central, 6th with 20. What do you need?
–River (1st): it is enough with the tie vs. Institute to be in 4th grade. It is even enough for them to lose and for Central not to beat Arsenal. Their position and crossing will depend on the goal difference in relation to their other rivals.
–Hurricane (2nd): it is enough with the tie vs. Atl. Tucumán to be in 4th. It is even enough for them to lose and for Central not to beat Arsenal. Their position and crossing will depend on the goal difference in relation to their other rivals.
–Independent (3rd): it is enough with the tie vs. Workshops to be in 4th grade. It is even enough for them to lose and for Central not to beat Arsenal. Their position and crossing will depend on the goal difference in relation to their other rivals.
–Banfield (4th): As he already played, he needs Rosario Central not to beat Arsenal by a difference of two goals or greater. Falcioni’s team has +5 DG and 11 goals scored, while Miguel Ángel Russo’s team has +3 DG and 15 goals scored. A false move from River, Huracán or Independiente would also help.
–Central Rosary (5th): they absolutely need to beat Arsenal in Sarandí. Any other result leaves him out of the fight. If they do it by a difference of two goals or more, they qualify. However, a setback by River, Huracán or Independiente would also give him the opportunity despite winning by a goal.

What do the teams in Zone B need to qualify?
In Zone B, Godoy Cruz leads with 22 points (+6). They are followed by Belgrano with 21 (+5), Racing with 21 (+3) and Platense, which beat Sarmiento 1-0, with 20 (-3). Who can take the leap this Sunday is Central Córdoba, currently out, with 19 (-1). What do you need?
–Godoy Cruz (1°): it is inside. As Belgrano (2nd) and Racing (3rd) meet, they barely have a chance of being below them (if they lose by four goals or more against Boca, and if Pirata and Academia tie). As there are five teams that can get involved and Platense has already played, he has no chance of being below Calamar. The worst scenario would be to finish 4th, if they lose by a landslide and Central Córdoba also beats San Lorenzo, in the Nuevo Gasómetro. The goal difference between them is seven goals. Of course, the victory guarantees Tomba to become the leader.
–Belgrano (2°) y Racing (3rd): They are also classified, although they will face each other in the Cylinder. Victory would give them the chance to finish first, if Godoy Cruz does not beat Boca. The tie leaves them the same, with the exception that they could finish 3rd or 4th, if Central Córdoba is inspired against San Lorenzo, or 1st and 2nd, if Tomba is beaten by Xeneize. Defeat would not leave anyone out because they could not be below Platense.
–Platense (4th): he beat Sarmiento de Junín and is going through the window. He does not have the opportunity to finish higher. And, to be in 4th. of the League Cup, Central Córdoba needs to lose against San Lorenzo. Any other result would leave him on the sidelines.
–Córdoba Central (5th): losing to San Lorenzo leaves him out. Tie, he puts it 4th. However, victory could leave them 3rd (if there is a winner from Belgrano-Racing), 2nd (if they score by more than six goals and Belgrano-Racing tie) or 1st (if they score by more than six goals, Belgrano -Racing draw and Godoy Cruz loses against Boca). Other results could also accommodate it. Difficult. But there are chances…
