The Professional League will kick off date 13 this Thursday with the presentation of none other than the leader of the championship, Atlético Tucumán, who will be hosting Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero from 9:30 p.m. (TV: ESPN Premium) in a true northern classic.
Lucas Pusineri’s team (25 points) comes from losing their undefeated record against Arsenal but won four of their six games at home while drawing the rest. For their part, those led by Abel Balbo (14) have two wins in a row in their fight for permanence.
Also at 9:30 p.m., but with TNT Sports television, Colón (14 points) and Arsenal (16) will be measuring each other in Santa Fe. Since Sergio Rondina arrived at Sabalero to replace Julio Falcioni, he has won one win, three draws and one defeat. It will not be easy for them against Leonardo Madelón’s team, who have just beaten the point guard and lost only twice in the tournament (although they added seven draws).
The day will open at 7:00 p.m. (ESPN Premium) with Godoy Cruz (18 points) and Aldosivi (8), in Mendoza. Tomba hasn’t won in four games while Tiburón isn’t much better: they’re penultimate in this League and are in relegation positions in the averages.
