Racing, directed by Fernando Gago, has already set a record for the club in the professional era with 10 consecutive wins (in amateurism it added 17) between the domestic tournament, the Copa Argentina and the Copa Sudamericana, and with 27 units it is virtually classified.
The “Academy” will officially secure the pass to the quarterfinals with only a draw since Argentinos and Sarmiento, who occupy the fourth and fifth positions with 20 units, will play each other tomorrow at La Paternal.
Racing after this match will travel to Peru where next Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. they will play against Melgar with the intention of achieving a positive result and getting closer to qualifying for the next phase, therefore it is likely that Fernando Gago will preserve some starters.
On the Newell’s side, Javier Sanguinetti’s campaign is very good, and he also had the luxury of winning the classic as a visitor against Rosario Central.
Of the past 24 points Newell’s obtained 19 and it is a team that has the experience of Cristian Lema (32 years old) and the strength of the Uruguayan Armando Méndez in defense, the category in the mid zone of Pablo Pérez (36) and the young Julián Fernández (20) and the goal by Juan Manuel Garcia.
In the history they played 153 times, with Racing’s advantage of 55 wins against 49 for “Ñuls” and tied on 49 occasions.
