The “Academy” comes from two equalities in a row (0-0 at home against Gymnastics and 2-2 against Defense and Justice as a visitor) and is in ninth position with two units.
Avellaneda’s team is obliged to win so as not to suffer the disapproval of their public again, as happened at the end of the clash against “Lobo” from La Plata in their debut and so as not to move away from the top positions.
The coach of the “albiceleste” team, Fernando Gago, could implement some modification after the draw against “Halcón de Varela” after leading 2-0.
“Pintita” was satisfied with the performance of his team from midfield forward in the last match, but not so with the performance of the players on the defensive side, particularly the full-backs Gonzalo Piovi and Facundo Mura.
In this way, one of the possibilities that DT Gago manages is the entry of the Ecuadorian defender Gustavo Cortez to replace Emiliano Insúa, while Gonzalo Piovi would move to the central defense alongside Leonardo Sigali. The rest of the team will be the same that matched against Defense and Justice.
On the Argentinos Juniors side, the team led by coach Gabriel Milito has the ideal score (6) after two consecutive victories: 1-0 against Patronato and 3-0 against Newell’s Old Boys.
Milito, 41, will repeat the same team that thrashed “Leprosy” last week at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.
The record between Racing and Argentinos Juniors registers a total of 131 clashes with 60 wins for the “Academia”, 28 for the “Bicho” and 43 draws.
Possible formations:
Racing Club: Gaston Gomez; Facundo Mura, Leonardo Sigali, Gonzalo Piovi, Emiiano Insúa or Gustavo Cortez; Leonel Miranda, Mauricio Martínez, Matías Rojas; Gabriel Hauche, Javier Correa, Edwin Cardona. DT: Fernando Gago.
Argentine Juniors: Federico Lanzillota; Kevin MacAllister, Miguel Torren, Lucas Villalba; Javier Cabrera, Alejandro Galarza, Fausto Vera, Luciano Gómez; Gabriel Carabajal, Gabriel Avalos, Nicolas Reniero. DT: Gabriel Milito.
