A new edition of Avellaneda's classic will be held at the Libertadores de América- Ricardo Bochini. The pride of the city will be put into play in the match for the seventh round of the League Cup, which will be controlled by the referee Patricio Loustau and will be broadcast live by Fox Sports Premium and TNT Sports,
The present of the teams is opposite. Eduardo Domínguez, champion coach with Colón de Santa Fe, will have a little more pressure for the locality and the need for the squad to consolidate after a doubtful start with more draws than wins. The former defender has an even record against Racing with three wins and three losses (one in his time through Hurricane) but among the victories is the resounding 3-0 of the 2021 League Cup final to win the first title in Sabalero history.
Barba would make two modifications from the starting eleven that equaled 1-1 against Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero last Monday, given that Uruguayan goalkeeper Sebastián Sosa will return, who left behind a grade one tear in the soleus zone of the left leg and take the place of Milton Álvarez. In addition, the strategist analyzes the entry from the start of striker Leandro Benegas to give him greater offensive power to replace defender Joaquín Laso.
Meanwhile, Dominguez will have to determine if he maintains the line of five defenders he implemented last Monday or if he will use one of four players ahead of Sosa. If he continues with the five in the background (with Gastón Togni and Alex Vigo as flying backs), Benegas would replace Leandro Fernández. On the other hand, if he opts for four defenders (as he used in all previous games), Lucas Rodríguez would return on the left back, Alex Vigo would remain on the right and Sergio Barreto and Juan Insaurralde would be the central scorers. With this alternative scheme Gastón Togni would take the lead instead of Leandro Fernández and next to Damián Batallini.
Another option would be to keep Batallini and Fernández as an attacking pair and for Benegas to start the match from the bench of substitutes to be an alternative exchange if necessary.
For his part, Fernando Gago had a good start to the year that improved the image of the beginning of the cycle, which had been with five defeats and three wins at the end of the 2021 tournament to qualify for the current edition of the Copa Sudamericana. Pintita, who will face Independiente for the first time in his coaching career, will not be able to count on Colombian Edwin Cardona, torn to Talleres, but is waiting for the returns of left back Eugenio Mena and Matías Rojas, who will be on the relay bench.
With great production in the last 4 matches (victories against Argentinos, Talleres, Atlético Tucumán and a draw against River), the Academy is on the rise thanks to its defensive solvency (in four games it ended up with the fence undefeated). It should be noted that Javier Correa trained differently during the week and must continue his recovery. The former Colón, who is in the final stage of rehabilitation of the tear in the femoral biceps of the left leg, did not arrive in optimal condition and the substitute striker will continue to be Alexis Cuello, one of the club's promises.
The 9th starter of the albiceleste team will again be Enzo Copetti, who took Correa's place since he was injured against Argentinos Juniors (3-0), for the third date. The Cordovan will surely be able to return to the first team on the eighth day when the Academy hosts Sarmiento in the Cylinder.
The last classic was left by Independiente with the 1-0 victory with the goal of former captain Silvio Romero, in heavy rain at the Libertadores de América. Racing's last victory in the derby was precisely at the neighbor's house on February 23, 2019 by 3-1 with an outstanding performance by Lisandro López.
