After the joy of progressing to the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, Belgrano once again dresses up as a Professional League team to face Argentinos Juniors this Saturday at 8:15 p.m. at the Gigante de Alberdi for the fourth date of the tournament.
After winning the last match against Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero 2 to 1, the victory came in Brazil and although the joy was great, they must focus on a complex match that puts them against one of the best teams in Argentina.
For this commitment, coach Juan Real will not be able to count on Matías Moreno, who was sent off against the Santiago team and received two suspension dates for that card, which leads him to return on July 21, in the second leg of the tournament, when the B is measured with Riestra.
Another who would not be in the game this Saturday night in Alberdi is Juan Barinaga, who concluded Tuesday’s game with muscle fatigue and could not be against La Paternal.
The coach knows that spirits are on the rise and that it is a good time to continue on the winning streak that will allow him to recover ground in the quest for a place in international tournaments by 2025.
In this scenario, the system is not changed and once again the 3-4-3 will continue on the field, with other names and actors, but seeking to internalize it in the players so that it is not doubted in the remainder of the season.
For its part, Bicho won its two home games in the local tournament, the last one against River last date 1-0 with a great goal from Lescano and lost on its visit in Avellaneda against Racing.
Playing outside his house is difficult for him and he lost in his last three appearances in this condition. For the Sudamericana on two occasions plus the 0-3 against the Academy. This week they played against Nacional from Paraguay and achieved a 2-1 victory, although they no longer had a chance to qualify from an earlier date, so the match was a matter of protocol.
The two arrive inspired by their victories at the local and international level, so it is estimated that it will be a great match that will be seen in Alberdi with the control of Facundo Tello and the television of ESPN Premium.
