Barracas Central target top spot with win over Belgrano | OneFootball

Barracas Central will be the home team this Monday against Belgrano. El Guapo will seek a victory that allows them to reach the top of Zone A, pushing Unión down.

Barracas Central and Belgrano will face each other this Monday, starting at 15:30 at the Claudio Fabián Tapia Stadium. El Guapo comes from a 1-0 home defeat against Sarmiento and wants to get back to winning to climb to the top of Zone A, while the Pirate thrashed Newell's 3-0 in Córdoba and dreams of the playoffs.

How Barracas Central and Belgrano arrive at the clash for the Torneo Clausura

El Guapo suffered a surprising home defeat against a Sarmiento team that is fighting in the lower zone to maintain their category. Nonetheless, they remain as Unión's runner-up with 15 points, and a victory against Belgrano would allow them to rise to the first place in the standings in Zone A, giving them the advantage of playing in their stadium in potential round of 16 matches.

On the other hand, the Pirate, led by Ricardo Zielinski, reunited with victory last Monday by thrashing Newell's after four winless matches. Additionally, they also defeated Lepra in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina and will face Argentinos Juniors in the semifinals. They are seventh with 12 points, qualifying for playoffs, but have the same points as Huracán, who is in 10th place. Therefore, if they also want to fight until the end for the Clausura, they must add points this Monday against Barracas.
