With the almost morbid ingredient of mouth presentation after the dismissal of Hugo Ibarra, the refusal of Tata Martino and the interim leadership of Mariano Herronthe Professional League will have a luxury Saturday that will also include the classic between San Lorenzo and Independent and the match between racing and Hurricane in Avellaneda. Besides, Tiger and lanus will meet in Victoria with the attractiveness of the presence of the scorer Mateo Retegui after his notable passage through the Italian National Team.
Central Barracks vs. Mouth
Boca will visit Barracas Central from 3:30 p.m. (ESPN Premium television) in search of some air after an ultra-hectic week and, incidentally, get out of the middle of the table that lives with 11 points.
With the Copa Libertadores debut on the horizon (next Thursday against Monagas in Venezuela)Herrón will plant an eleven without great news that will try to leave behind the two consecutive defeats that he has in the League (0-1 with Banfield and 2-3 with Instituto) and that accelerated the departure of Ibarra just 15 days after winning the Argentine Super Cup (3-0 against Patronato).
The until recently DT of the Reserve will return ownership to Pol Fernández, Frank Fabra and Sebastián Villa, while he will put Juan Ramírez back, one of the most questioned for his level. While on the right side, where neither Advíncula nor Weigandt have been performing, Nicolás Figal will play, central by nature. So things, Boca will form with Sergio Romero; Figal, Roncaglia, Valdez, Fabra; Pol Fernandez, Varela, J. Ramirez; Langoni, Benedetto and Villa.
Meanwhile, the Football Council headed by Juan roman riquelme tries to close the arrival of a new DT, who would not leave the Uruguayans Alexander “Cacique Medina (ex Talleres and Vélez) and Diego Alonso (exSelection of your country), diego martinez (current DT of Tigre) and even the emblematic Jose Pekerman73 years old and who has just left the Venezuelan National Team.
For his part, Barracas Central, led by Rodolfo de Paoli, has 8 points and accumulated three games without winning, with a loss against Newell’s and two draws, against Independiente and Atlético Tucumán.
Saint Lawrence vs. Independent
Although institutional stability is not enough, San Lorenzo (16 points) He is much calmer than Boca and his rival on duty, Independent (8), under the command of the wise Rubén Darío Insúa. Azulgranas and reds will be facing each other from 7:00 p.m. in Bajo Flores (TNT Sports television).
The Cyclone comes from seeing an unbeaten finish in six games (five wins) in Rosario against Newell’s and will try take advantage of its power at home (four games and four successes without goals against) and the chaos that Independiente lives after the departure of Leandro Stilletano as DT.
Under the interim direction of Pedro Damián Monzónwhich debuted with a 3-0 win over Ciudad Bolívar (of Federal A) for the Argentine Cup, the Red arrives with an unenviable streak of seven games without winning (five draws, two losses).
The history of the classic is 196 games and favors Independiente with 74 wins against 68 for San Lorenzo, while they tied 54 times.
Racing vs. Hurricane
Racing, which achieved 12 of the last 15 points it played, will be local against Huracán, who accumulates four winless presentations, with the need to win to get closer to the top. They will play at the Presidente Perón stadium from 9:30 p.m. (ESPN Premium television).
Those of Gago and those of Dabove will face the game with their maximum potential but also with their minds set on their cup debuts. Racing (14 points) will debut in the Libertadores next Wednesday visiting Ñublese from Chile and Huracán (12) will do so in the Sudamericana at home against Guaraní from Paraguay the next day.
As for the reality of both in the LPF, Racing’s appears much more favorable with four wins in the last five dates. However, the fact that they have added those points does not mean that Gago’s team had the good game that they showed especially last year.
Racing made the difference through individualities, especially with its best player, the Paraguayan Matías Rojasbut the team lacks forcefulness and in the defensive aspect the errors abound.
Hurricane had a promising start but in the past four dates it only gathered two units with two draws and two losses. To this is added the bitterness of losing the qualification to the group stage of the Libertadores when falling in discount time in Peru against Sporting Cristal.
tiger vs. lanus
With Boca stalking his DT but with the super return of Mateo Retegui after his spectacular participation with Italy in the Qualifiers for the Eurocup (two games, two goals), Tigre will receive Lanús from 9:30 p.m. (TNT Sports television).
El Matador (8 points) accumulates three defeats in a row and no goals but he hopes that the recess has accommodated his ideas, who have been very good since his promotion to First Division. In addition, next Thursday it will debut as a local in the South American against the powerful Brazilian San Pablo.
Lanús (14), with Frank Kudelka as DTbegan the LPF with four wins in a row and was the leader, but entered the shadows and has not won for four (two draws and two defeats).
