Cordoba Institutewho was second in the season behind champion Belgrano, can finalize tonight his long-awaited return to the top tier of Argentine football after 16 years, receiving Homemade studentsin the rematch of the final of the redoubt of the First National team, the winner of which will go up to Professional league.

The match will be played from 20:10 at the Juan Domingo Perón stadium, in the Alta Córdoba neighborhood, will be broadcast by TyC Sports and refereed by Fernando Espinoza.

In the first leg played in Caseros, city of Buenos Aires, last Sunday, they drew without goals, so a draw is useful for the Instituto to promote since the so-called “sporting advantage” benefits them because they closed the regular season with 68 units against the 57 of the “Punch”.

The victory only serves Estudiantes to be able to return to “big football”, a division in which it has been absent since 1978.

Anticipation is huge in Córdoba as last Tuesday the members of the Instituto de Córdoba sold out all the tickets available to attend the final, so the Alta Córdoba stadium will be a ‘caldera’.

In addition, the Local Institute is a “nightmare” for everyone, as it is unbeaten with 81% effectiveness after 18 matches, adding 13 wins and five draws, with which Estudiantes will have a very tough mission.

In relation to the formation of “La Gloria”, the doubt belongs to the defender and reference Ezequiel Parnisari, who has a pulled ligament in his right knee, and will be evaluated to see his evolution. His presence is complicated and in case of not being able to play, Matías Ferreyra would replace him.

The first leg was very balanced, with a game on the edge and both with weapons looking for the difference, both goalkeepers in evidence, the veteran (41 years) Jorge Carranza in Instituto and Lucas Bruera in “Pincha”, who puts 610 minutes with the fence unbeaten and only one goal conceded in the last 10 matches.

In Estudiantes, striker Lautaro Lusnig (expelled in Mendoza against Gimnasia) has already served his suspension and DT Water Otta will decide whether to return in place of Nicolás Fernández.

Instituto rested in the first two stages of the redoubt, an advantage gained by being the runners-up, and made their debut in the semifinals against demanding Defensores de Belgrano, who had knocked out All Boys and third-placed San Martín de Tucumán.

“La Gloria” drew without goals in Bajo Nuñez and in Alta Córdoba beat “Dragón” 2-0, cleanly, and reached this final.

Estudiantes eliminated Chaco For Ever, at home 3-0, Estudiantes de Ríos Cuarto, 1-0 in Córdoba, and Gimnasia y Esgrima 1-0 in Mendoza.
