“Pincha” needs to win again after three dates so as not to move away from the qualifying zone for the next Copa Libertadores de América.
Colón, with the debut of Marcelo Saralegui as technical director, will try to end the streak of six games without winning.
After being at the door of the semifinals of the current edition of the Libertadores, Estudiantes will seek to play again the South American tournament that he knew how to conquer four times.
The team led by Ricardo Zielinski has 55 points in the annual table and is five behind Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata but in the middle it has three against Argentinos Juniors, who are also fighting for entry.
The “Sabalero”, in the midst of an institutional and sports crisis, will present the fourth coach of the season after the steps of Julio César Falcioni, Sergio Rondina and the interim of Adrián Marini.
Saralegui, who had a good time as a Colón player between 1995 and 1998, will have his second experience in Argentine soccer as DT after having been in Colegiales in 2016.
The main challenge of the former Racing and Independiente midfielder is to raise a squad that after playing the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores only won three of the last fifteen games.
The new DT recovers Ramón Ábila and Rafael Delgado, who met the suspension date, but only the striker would play from the beginning.
For his part, “Russian” Zielinski will have to rearm the midfield after Jorge “Corcho” Rodríguez was discharged due to a muscle injury.
Colón dominates the history of the First Division with 33 wins against 19 for Estudiantes and 26 draws.
The “León” has been six games without being able to beat Colón and his last victory was in 2016 by 1-0 at the Ciudad de La Plata stadium.
When do Estudiantes vs Colón play?
The match of the 22nd date will be played from 7:00 p.m. at the UNO stadium in La Plata with Leandro Rey Hilfer as referee.
