Columbus of Santa Fe48 hours after his third commitment to the Copa Libertadores, visited Arsenal in the rush of a win that would keep him in the race for qualification for the Professional Football League Cup (LPF).
The match will be played from 7:00 pm at the Julio Humberto Grondona stadium in Sarandí, with arbitration by Fernando Echenique and broadcast by Fox Sports Premium.
With just one win in his last 11 appearances, “Sabalero” will be looking for three points that will bring him closer to fourth place in the zone, where he is four units away. Their chances, however, depend on Aldosivi from Mar del Plata (20), Tigre (20) or Boca Juniors (21) not to win the tournament again.
If the three achieve at least one victory in the two remaining dates, Julio César Falcioni’s team will not be able to do anything they can on the playing field.
Colón has not won an LPF Cup since the fourth date when it won 2-1 against Barracas Central, at home. He later won at Sportivo Las Parejas for the Argentine Cup and against Peñarol from Uruguay in the Libertadores.
Arsenal, eliminated in the final, have won just one game this year (2-1 against Huracán) and are tied at seven of the last eight games.
In the history of the First Division, the Sarandí club has a two -game advantage with a balance of 12 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses in 30 games.
