Belgrano chase top spot in Zone B against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto | OneFootball

The Pirate will face the Lion this Thursday at 7:15 PM at the Antonio Candini Stadium for Matchday 10 of the Torneo Apertura. The Cordoban team will be looking to return to victory after their last defeat.

Estudiantes de Río Cuarto and Belgrano will face each other this Thursday at 7:15 PM at the Antonio Candini Stadium, for Matchday 10 of the Torneo Apertura. The sky-blue team will try to recover quickly to get back into the fight at the top of the championship.

The team led by Ricardo Zielinski comes into the match shaken after their loss to Huracán in Parque Patricios, a result that halted their good run and cost them the lead they had solidly secured in the early rounds. Now, the Pirate will look to rediscover their best form to stay in the race.

In addition, the coach will be without two key players for this match. Lisandro López and Franco Vázquez were not called up due to various physical issues and will be rested with an eye on Sunday's clásico against Talleres.

For their part, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto are going through a tough time in their return to the top division. The team managed by Iván Delfino is coming off a loss to Sarmiento de Junín and has six defeats in eight matches since their promotion, a record that keeps them far from the qualification spots.

Although the Lion has shown good stretches of play down the wings, a lack of effectiveness and quality at key moments has prevented those positive spells from translating into results. That’s why the match against Belgrano appears as an important opportunity to bounce back in front of their fans in Río Cuarto.

The probable lineup for Estudiantes (RC) vs. Belgrano, for the Torneo Apertura:

Agustín Lastra; Juan Antonini, Gonzalo Maffini, Matías Valenti, Tobías Ostchega; Nicolás Talpone, Francisco Romero, Tomás González, Mauro Valiente; Mateo Bajamich and Martín Garnerone. Coach: Iván Delfino.
