Club Comunicaciones de San Carlos hosts Arsenal de Sarandí this afternoon at 15:00 local time in a high-stakes fixture for the 38th round of the Primera B Metropolitana tournament, referee Wenceslao Meneses announced for the match. San Carlos enters the fixture sitting 13th in the standings with 44 points, safely clear of the relegation conversation but too far distant from the Reducido promotion playoff places to mount a challenge.
For Arsenal, the afternoon carries immense title implications. The visitors arrive in second place with 69 points, keeping their ambitions of capturing the league championship alive as the season reaches its final stretch. While San Carlos saw its playoff aspirations vanish in previous weeks, the squad aims to close out the campaign by collecting maximum points and climbing as high up the league table as possible.
Lineup Adjustments and Starting XI for San Carlos
Managerial changes force a shift in goal for the home side as Tomás Akimenco steps in to replace Pablo Bangardino between the posts. The rest of the starting formation remains unchanged from the previous outing.
The projected San Carlos lineup features Akimenco in goal; Lloyaiy, Areco, and Estévez across the defensive line; Pontón, E. González, A. Acosta, and Cañete in the midfield; with Mussis pulling strings behind a forward partnership of Salinas and Lugones.
San Carlos approaches this fixture fresh off a narrow 1-0 victory against Argentino de Merlo, a result the team hopes to build upon against one of the division’s most consistent outfits. Arsenal enters the match recognized as a primary candidate for direct promotion, presenting a stern test for the hosts’ defensive structure.
Arsenal Chases League Summit as San Carlos Plays for Pride
With 38 matchdays complete in the B Metropolitana calendar, the mathematical gap between San Carlos and the top pack leaves the club playing strictly for pride and position.
Arsenal continues to chase the league summit, knowing any dropped points at this stage could derail their championship bid. Wenceslao Meneses oversees the disciplinary control of the fixture, with kickoff scheduled for mid-afternoon.
