Racing and Independent They face each other in a match that could be a turning point if there is a winner, according to the current situation of each team and the objectives they pursue beyond the three points that will be at stake.
The “Academy” is first in its area with three wins and two draws, however, it lives in a rarefied context due to the relationship between the coach Fernando Gago and the fans, who take advantage of any situation to show their annoyance to the point of whistling at him every time the coach is named by the voice of the stadium when the teams are announced.
The fact is that many fans do not agree with some of the coach’s choices, both in tactics and in the players to carry them out, and that is why they vehemently express their intention that Gago leave the reins of the “Academy”.
Added to that is that despite having won the Champions Trophy and the International Super Cupboth before Mouththe team failed in the final stages of several tournaments, being relegated in South American Cup, Libertadores Cup and Argentine Cupand especially for losing a Professional League on the last date.
This League Cup It’s the last chance to Racingwhich seeks to reach the final stages and try to win it, in addition to achieving qualification for the Copa Libertadores 2024.
A setback in the classic (of the last seven the “Red” only won one and Gago achieved two wins and a draw) would make the coach’s continuity very complicated by adding another frustration and further damaging his relationship with the fans.
On the side of Independentis still paying for the enormous political, social and sporting crisis that he experienced until not long ago, which led him to fight to avoid relegation to the First Nationala category in which it was already a decade ago.
The DT Ricardo Zielinski resigned in this League Cup after the defeat against Colon and it arrived Carlos Tevezwho remains undefeated with three wins and three draws, was only left out in Argentine Cup in view of Students on penalties, but with an improvement in the game.
Independent He improved in defense, they hit him much less, he looks more concentrated and with a greater volume of play with the presence of Federico Mancuellobut despite this it still suffers from the relegation by adding 39 units in the general table.
The “Red” has just three points more than Gym and Velez in the relegation zone and a defeat in the classic would also affect him emotionally, and could leave negative consequences.
In Racing There will be the return of three important players who overcame injuries such as the defenders Nazarene Colombo and Leonardo Sigaliplus the midfielder Anibal Morenoit is very likely that Gabriel Hauchewho usually scores goals against Independentplay on the offensive with the Colombian Roger Martinez.
In Independiente the “Apache” You look in his first classic Avellaneda I wouldn’t count on the Chilean Mauritius Island and I would go back to betting on a line of five at the bottom.
In history, 214 matches have been played with advantage of Independent of 84 wins against 62 of Racingplus 68 ties.
