The zero arc is explained by the great moment of Agustín Rossi.
This Wednesday, Hugo Ibarra’s team will face Gimnasia (37). This is an opponent who has aspirations beyond the spiral he has entered in the last three dates (he added 1 point out of 9). If he wins in La Plata, he will not only leave Lobo almost out of the fight; in addition, he will take a formidable push because he will play against on Sunday Aldosives, one of the clubs with the worst campaign.

The Globe has three of the five games left at Parque Patricios, which could mean an advantage, as long as it’s not under pressure from its fans. Workshop, tomorrow; Students and Platense. El Pincha is playing the passage to the Libertadores, no more, no less. And on the last day he will visit Patronato, who may need the three points to stay in the First Division.
