Independentwho on his debut achieved a precious victory as a guest in Córdoba, against Talleres, will be local against Platensewhose coach is Martín Palermo, in one of the matches that will be held for the second round of the Professional Football League (LPF).
The match will be played at the Estadio Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini, starting at 17:00, broadcast by TNT Sports, with the refereeing by Darío Herrera of Neuquén and the VAR by Héctor Paletta.
Great anticipation and effervescence has been experienced in Independiente since with the new board of directors, led by President Fabián Doman, it has added 12,300 new members this year and reached 13,000 subscriptions, a record for the Avellaneda entity.
The enthusiasm for the team’s first presentation at their own LPF stadium, coupled with their triumph in Córdoba, will no doubt produce an extraordinary match environment, with sold out tickets and a packed stadium to see Leandro Stilitano’s team.
The “red” fan is betting on the arrival of a time different from the one experienced recently, with few victories, no qualifications for an international cup and continuous news linked to debts and inhibitions.
The massive fan attendance for the match against “Calamar” is a show of support for a new cycle.
Independiente, who generally achieved good results in his preparation games, with a style based on pressure on the opponent’s start, orderly in the background and with short passes, looking for collaborations in the preparation of the game.
Tomorrow Stilitano will have to make mandatory changes, Javier Báez or Patricio Ostachuk would replace defender Luciano Gómez (he dislocated his shoulder against Talleres), Kevin López would go for Iván Marcone (sent off in Córdoba) and Nicolás Vallejo could replace Rodrigo Márquez if he doesn’t play ( ankle shops).
Platense in the premiere of the LPF 2023 drew 2-2 in Vicente López against Newell’s. Palermo has a very clear objective of this LPF, that is to save themselves from relegation.
The “Calamaro” is 25th. in the middle school table, surpassing only Arsenal, Belgrano and Instituto, a situation that forces the team to carry out an excellent campaign to get out of the bottom of the table that will decide who will not be in the LPF in 2024.
In history everything is very favorable for “Red” with 61 wins against 30 for Platense after 126 games, while there were 30 draws.
