Independiente has 11 points in its zone and with just two wins in nine games, it needs to keep the three points in Santa Fe to keep alive the illusion of going to the quarterfinals, since the domestic tournament only has five dates left.
Avellaneda’s team beat General Caballero, from Paraguay, during the week, and that allowed him to relocate in his South American group and at the same time arrive in Santa Fe with high spirits.
Colón, for his part, with 13 points, lost in the Libertadores with Cerro Porteño, in Asunción, and also needs the points to maintain his chances of advancing in the domestic tournament.
The match will have a high emotional charge for the Colón fans, who are preparing a special tribute for the Independiente coach, Eduardo Domínguez, who entered the club’s history for having led the team that was champion of the 2021 League Cup, only title in the first division.
The record between the two is 74 games, with 35 wins for Independiente, 22 for Colón and 17 draws.
