Students of La Plataafter a frantic week with the unaccepted resignation of his coach Ricardo Zielinskyreceive this Monday at Santa Fe Union at the UN Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium, for the fifteenth round of the Professional League. The match, which starts at 4:30 pm with Yael Falcón Pérez arbitration, is broadcast by ESPN Premium.
The “Pincha” arrives in stasis. After losing to Argentinos Juniors during their visit to La Paternal, Estudiantes sank a little lower in the rankings and were on the verge of losing their DT, who would play his continuity tonight. In the Professional League, Zielinski’s men only add 16 points and move further and further away from the top. In the annual ranking, they are six behind the Libertadores.
And even the ‘Tatengue’, for its part, is not living its best present. He was born from two consecutive crashes – against Argentinos Juniors and Gimnasia – and his entry into the cups becomes more and more complicated. With 21 points, those led by Gustavo Munúa are in eleventh positionbut they maintain the illusion of fighting for the top positions.
