Racing Club, with an alternative team, will visit Tigre today with the intention of adding their first victory in Zone B of the League Cup while waiting for the retaliation against Boca Juniors for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores, to be played in Avellaneda.
The “Academy” will visit Tigre from 9:30 p.m. at the José Dellagiovanna stadium, in Victoria, with ESPN televising and Hernán Mastrángelo refereeing.
Racing is playing in the League Cup but is focused on another objective, continuity in the Libertadores where in the quarterfinals it plays against a rival of the caliber of Boca.
In the first leg, last Wednesday, they drew 0-0 at La Bombonera.
Now the pass to the semifinals will be played next Wednesday at home and this “copera” instance means that DT Fernando Gago has faced his debut against Unión, in Santa Fe, with substitutes, equalizing 1-1 and now he will do the same visiting Tigre .
However, Racing must also score points because it is far from qualifying for the 2024 Libertadores (it is not entering the Copa Sudamericana either).
Tigre debuted in the League Cup with the illusion of being among the teams that will fight for the first four places and being able to advance to the quarterfinals, although his debut was not happy and he lost to Sarmiento (2-0) in Junín.
The record between “Matador” and Racing is 85 games, of which “Academy” won 44, Tigre 22 and tied 19 times.
