How the five teams that define the relegation of the annual table are saved

Vélez, Sarmiento de Junín, Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, Colón and Santa Fe Union will define this Saturday on the last date of the Professional League Cup 2023 who will lose the category due to the accumulation of points in the annual table, since due to averages they fell Sarandí Arsenal.

These five teams will fight to avoid relegation on the last date, but the one that will start the day in the relegation zone, forced to win, is Unionwhat a sum 43 points and will receive Tigerwhich ensured permanence last day.

With barely a thread of oxygen, but that does not allow them to relax, they are Gym (visit to banfield) and Colonwhat in Liniers will visit Velezwhat’s wrong with it 46 units. The other one with 46 is Sarmiento who will visit Platense in Vicente Lopez.

Although the definition seems simple in terms of mathematics, the truth is that this could be altered, since a series of results could produce a quadruple tie in the fight for permanence.

If the results are given, there could be a four-way tie, at 46 units. For that, I should beat him Union to Tigerdraw or victory Colon in view of Velez in it Jose Amalfitani (the latter would put the team Sebastian “Gallego” Mendez), a tie Gym versus banfield and, also, a defeat of Sarmiento against Platense.

This is the annual table

How each of the teams fighting to avoid relegation is saved

Vélez (46 points): vs Colón (L)

By tying (or clearly winning) with Colón on their court, Vélez will maintain the category. If he loses, he needs Unión not to win (43) or Gimnasia to lose (45). On the other hand, if he suffers a defeat he would go to a tiebreaker with Gimnasia if “Lobo” draws and if Unión wins.

Sarmiento (46): vs Platense (V)

With a draw (or clear win) with Platense they will continue in First. If he loses, he needs Unión not to win (43) or Gimnasia (45) and Colón (45) to lose. Furthermore, if they lose they would go to a tiebreaker with Gimnasia and/or Colón (if they tie), with Vélez if they lose and even with Unión if “Tatengue” wins.

Colón (45): vs Vélez (V)

He will continue in First if he beats Vélez. Also, if they tie, there are two variants: Union does not win (43) or Gimnasia loses (45). And if he loses, he will need Unión not to win or for Gimnasia to also lose (they would be tied).

Gymnastics (45): vs Banfield (V)

The “Lobo” will maintain the category if it beats Banfield. If he ties, he will continue in First if Unión (43) does not win or if Colón (45) loses to Vélez. If he loses to Banfield, he will need Unión to not beat Tigre. And he will go to a tiebreaker with Colón if they both lose; and a triple tiebreaker if both tie and if Unión wins; and in this case there may even be a quadruple tiebreaker if Sarmiento loses to Platense on top of that.

Union (43): vs Tigre (L)

“Tatengue” only needs to win. If he achieves it, he will continue in First if Gimnasia (45) or Colón (45) lose. And it will go to a tiebreaker with Gimnasia or Colón if they tie, or with Vélez (46) if “Fortín” (46) loses to Colón.
