Instituto, which has suffered two consecutive defeats and has been complicated in the average table for relegation, will receive this Saturday from 18:00 in Colón in a match valid for the 16th date of the Professional Football League (LPF) which will be played in the Juan Domingo Perón, will be directed by Luis Lobo Medina and broadcast by TNT Sports.
The Institute’s campaign in this LPF is clearly divided into two phases. In the first eight rounds, he added 13 of 24 points, defeated Boca at La Bombonera and suffered only one defeat. But then he amassed just four points in the next seven appearances, in which he managed just one win.
This negative streak has forced the team led by Lucas Bovaglio to look carefully at the middle school standings, in which they are in 26th place, only above Platense and Arsenal, who occupy the relegation places.
Colón, with Néstor Gorosito as DT, has no regularity and his bet is to add points to try to be close to qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana next season.
The record stands at just 11 games and a slight lead for Instituto with five wins to Sabalero’s three and three draws.
