The team led by Ricardo Zielinski arrives shaken after the defeat against Huracán in Parque Patricios, a result that halted their good streak and left them without the leadership they had solidly achieved in the early rounds. Now, the Pirate will seek to rediscover their best form to stay in the fight.

Additionally, the coach will not have two important players for this match. Lisandro López and Franco Vázquez were not called up due to various physical discomforts and will be preserved with an eye on the classic on Sunday against Talleres.

On the other hand, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto is going through a difficult time in their return to the top category. The team led by Iván Delfino comes from a defeat against Sarmiento de Junín and has accumulated six losses in eight matches since their promotion, a record that keeps them far from the qualifying spots.

Although the Lion has shown good passages of play on the wings, the lack of effectiveness and hierarchy in key moments has prevented those positive moments from translating into results. Therefore, the match against Belgrano appears as an important opportunity to lift their spirits in front of their fans in Río Cuarto.

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

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.

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

Thiago Cardozo; Alcides Benítez, Leonardo Morales, Álvaro Ocampo, Adrián Spörle; Ramiro Hernandes, Santiago Longo, Francisco González Metilli, Juan Velázquez; Franco Vázquez; Lucas Passerini. Coach: Ricardo Zielinski.
