Racing visits Newell’s tonight in Rosario: schedule, TV and lineups

Racing They come to this match after obtaining an important victory against Huachipato in Chile by 2 to 0 in the first leg of the round of 16 of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana.

Their present situation in the domestic competition is different, as they have not added three points for two matches: they tied with Huracán 1-1 and in the last match they lost to Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata 1-0 at the Cilindro.

Racing is in sixth place with 17 points, just three points behind leader Huracán, so they need a win to reach the top.

Regarding the team, coach Gustavo Costas could arrange for the return of Marco Di Cesare in place of Leonardo Sigali in defense while in attack Roger Martínez would play in replacement of Adrián Martínez, who was sent off against Gimnasia La Plata.

For its part, Newell’s has gone five games without a win and has had three consecutive defeats in its last few games.

This bad streak deepened with the fall against Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero (2 to 0), the 4 to 1 thrashing by Estudiantes de La Plata and the defeat in the classic against Rosario Central by 1 to 0 at the Gigante de Arroyito.

Newell’s is in eleventh position with 15 points in the standings and Ever Banega is ruled out for this match, as he missed the match against Estudiantes and pushed himself to be in the classic, causing his hamstring injury to worsen.
