Racing, which qualified first in Zone B, and Rosario Central, which finished fourth in Zone A, will play tomorrow one of the quarterfinal matches of the League Cup, at the Padre Humberto Martiaerena stadium, in the city of Salta.
The match will begin at 9:30 p.m., will be refereed by Fernando Rapallini and televised by the ESPN Premium cable signal.
Racing, which has just beaten Belgrano 4-1 on the last date of the tournament at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, will have offensive midfielder Baltasar Rodríguez available tomorrow, who recovered from a muscle injury suffered during that match.
The racing technical duo made up of Sebastián Grazzini and Ezequiel Videla will have tomorrow the return of defender Leonardo Sigali, who will replace Tobías Rubio, while they evaluate whether Nazareno Colombo will continue or Gonzalo Piovi will enter as the second central marker and whether Gabriel Hauche will continue as forward or will enter Maximiliano Romero.
Central, which beat Arsenal 2-1 as a visitor on the last date and qualified for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, will also have variants.
The “canalla” technical director, Miguel Ángel Russo, will have the returns of the qualified right side marker Damián Martínez and the defender Carlos Quintana, who recovered from a muscle injury he suffered in the 3-1 victory over River, at the Gigante de Little stream.
“Gitano” Martínez will replace Juan Cruz Komar and Quintana will replace former Boca defender Agustín Sández. Meanwhile, Russo would put the central midfielder Agustín Toledo in place of the hitch Maximiliano Lovera.
Racing and Central face the great opportunity to be among the four best in Argentine football and promise an intense match, based on the good play of their midfielders and their similar proposals with 4-2-3-1 schemes to win the victory.
