Ulises Sánchez (Cruciate ligament tear), Nicolás Fernández (Toe injury), Matías Daniele (Knee injury), Lucas Passerini (Cruciate ligament tear), Matías Marín (Toe injury) and Agustin Baldi (Ankle ligament tear) won’t be available for Belgrano boss Juan Cruz Real.

We think that Pirata will possibly opt for a 3-5-2 system this time, handing starts to Juan Espínola, Anibal Leguizamon, Alejandro Rebola, Rafael Delgado, Gabriel Compagnucci, Esteban Rolon, Lucas Menossi, F. González Metilli, J. M. Velázquez, Franco Jara and Pablo Chavarria.

From a largely full-strength group, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Independiente Rivadavia manager Alfredo Berti to be concerned about. Federico Castro (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that Independiente Rivadavia could decide to play in a 4-3-3 system, settling for Ezequiel Centurión, Luciano Abecasis, Iván Villalba, Sheyko Studer, Tobias Ostchega, Mauricio Cardillo, Franco Romero, Diego Tonetto, Luis Sequeira, Victorio Ramis and Sebastián Villa.
