🗞️ Team News: Defensa y Justicia

The Defensa y Justicia boss Julio Vaccari will be grateful to have no fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash owing to a completely healthy squad available to select from.

In all likelihood, Halcón look set to use a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Ezequiel Unsain, Agustín Sant'Anna, Julian Malatini, Santi Ramos Mingo, Alexis Soto, Rodrigo Bogarín, Julián López, Gabriel Alanis, L. Tomas Escalante, Gastón Togni and Nicolas Fernandez.

ℹ️ Team News: Racing Club

Racing Club boss Fernando Gago has a number of players out of action. Maximiliano Romero (Torn muscle bundle), Matías Rojas (Ankle Injury), Leonel Miranda (Ruptured cruciate ligament), Emiliano Vecchio (Ruptured cruciate ligament) and Johan Carbonero (Ruptured cruciate ligament) are those who can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that La Academia could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Gabriel Arias, Facundo Mura, Leonardo Sigali, Jonathan Galván, Gabriel Rojas, Anibal Moreno, Juan Ignacio Nardoni, Nicolás Oroz, Héctor Fertoli, Paolo Guerrero and Emiliano Saliadarre.
