Professional League: Independiente receives Colón amid internal tensions

Independiente, who has six appearances without wins and has his DT Leandro Stillitano on the tightrope, will be local against Colón de Santa Fe with the urgency of achieving the three points, in one of the five games that will give continuity this Saturday to the eighth date of the Professional Football League (LPF).

Colón, directed by Néstor Gorosito, replaced Marcelo Saralegui, has not won yet and has 10 commitments without doing so. He lost the first three games and now he has four draws in a row and the DT would not make any changes.
