He set of Nunezwho finished second in Zone A, comes from beating Belgrano 2-1 with an agonizing goal from Facundo Colidio.
For this occasion, coach Martín Demichelis will not be able to count on Milton Cascodue to injury, and has a doubt on the right side, in case he gives ownership to Andres Herrera or to Santiago Simon. The surprise on the squad list is the presence of the youth players Claudio Echeverri and Agustín Rubertowho have just stood out in the U-17 World Cup with the Argentine National Team.

The Rosario team recently defeated River, in Arroyito, by 3 to 1on the penultimate date of the group stage, and now appears as a risky rival for Millonario, who is seeking the two-time championship.
