ℹ️ Team News: Gimna ' Plata

Cristian Colmán (Torn muscle bundle), Agustín Bolívar (Pubalgia), Ivo Mammini (Cruciate ligament tear), Valentín Rodríguez (Muscle injury), Leandro Mamut (Pubalgia) and Pablo de Blasis (Meniscus tear) won’t be able to feature for Gimna ' Plata boss Marcelo Méndez.

In our view, El Lobo may well make use of the 4-3-3 system this time, handing starts to Marcos Ledesma, Juan Pintado, Leonardo Morales, Yonathan Cabral, Nicolás Colazo, Nicolás Garayalde, Martín Fernández, Lucas Castro, Matías Abaldo, Rodrigo Castillo and Norberto Briasco.
