The match, valid for Zone A, will be played starting at 7.30pm at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium, in Huracán, refereed by Nicolás Ramírez and broadcast by ESPN Premium.
The “Red Devils” started the national tournament with two away victories, in Mendoza against Independiente Rivadavia (1-0) and in Liniers against Vélez Sarsfield (1-0), but then their performances worsened and they lost in Avellaneda with Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata (1-0).
In any case, a victory would leave the team led by Carlos Tevez in first place, which before the start of the day is held by River Plate and Instituto de Córdoba, both with 7 units.
Independiente have one certain loss, that of defender Ayrton Costa, who suffered a torn hamstring in his left leg in the defeat against Gimnasia and will have at least three weeks of recovery.
On the “Globo” side, after the first victory over Banfield (2-0), the team declined and suffered two consecutive defeats, the first against Talleres (2-1) and the last in Mendoza with Independiente Rivadavia (2-0). ).
The team led by Facundo Sava, who has not defined whether he will make any changes, will recover his base since against the Cordobans he played at La Paternal, on the Argentinos Juniors pitch, because the Ducó has been renewed.
