The winner of this match will face Agropecuario Argentino led by Carlos Casares in the round of 16, who eliminated Almirante Brown, in a clash of teams from the First National, by 2-0 at Arsenal’s court.
Racing is undefeated, it is a leader, it has improved its level of play a lot and as the “icing on the cake” it comes from beating Independiente, as a visitor, by 2 to 1 in the date of classics.
The team led by Fernando Gago has a style, with priority when it comes to possession of the ball, more dynamic and fluid in the game, without the lateral and inconsequential touch that it showed until recently.
In addition, the “Academy” achieves a fast transition from defense to attack and with precision, managing to hurt the rival.
In this scheme, Gago is counting on individuals who are in an excellent moment such as Gabriel Hauche, the best player so far in the League Cup, Leonel Miranda, goalkeeper Gastón Gómez, who has made the absence of Gabriel Arias forget, and Carlos Alcaraz, with a rest that is not out of place at this juncture.
Racing has almost not had his figure, the Colombian Edwin Cardona, who is recovering from a tear, nor with the Chilean Eugenio Mena (very well replaced by Gonzalo Piovi) and the Paraguayan Matías Rojas did not manage to continue, but the team did not defect, on the contrary, it was better than expected.
For tomorrow there are no indications that Gago has an alternative team as there is a break in activity in the League Cup, therefore there is the possibility that the team that beat “Red” will repeat.
Gimnasia y Tiro, the “Albo” from Salta, is directed by Ever Demalde, and is preparing to debut in Federal A 2022 with the dream of reaching the First National playing against Sportivo Belgrano de Córdoba.
This team, with 119 years of existence, is the only one in the northern province that played in the First Division, in the 1993/94 seasons (relegated along with Estudiantes de La Plata) and 1997/98 (relegated with Deportivo Español), in addition to participate in six seasons of the B Nacional contest, today called Primera Nacional.
Midfielders Alejandro Frezzotti (former Lanús, Chacarita, Gimnasia, Temperley, Treviso from Italy and teams from Peru, Chile, Albania and Ecuador) and Walter Busse (former Independiente, Huracán, Ferro, Defensa and Sarmiento) stand out as the most outstanding elements of the Salta team. of Junin).
Between Racing and Gimnasia y Tiro there is a precedent in the Copa Argentina in the 2015/16 edition with the victory of the Avellaneda team by 2-0, with goals from Marcos Acuña and Lisandro López scored in the last 5 minutes of the match, in 32nd. end.
