Can El Sabalero bounce back? Godoy Cruz arrive spluttering | OneFootball

By Jonas Reinglestein

The loss to Morón hurt because it meant giving up sole possession of first place, but the schedule offers a quick chance at redemption. Next weekend, the Brigadier López will host a massive showdown among the top pack in Zone A, when it welcomes Godoy Cruz, a direct rival that currently has the same number of points.

Mariano Toedtli’s team arrives in Santa Fe after a dull 0-0 draw against San Miguel at the Gambarte. El Expreso had a very hard time creating chances and left frustrated in front of its home crowd. To make matters worse, Tomba comes in with doubts over its main striker, Nahuel Ulariaga, who finished the match carrying a physical issue. It’s also worth mentioning Roberto Ramírez, the Mendoza goalkeeper, who is coming off a standout performance and is the main reason his team remains in the fight at the top.

In Colón’s camp, this week will be crucial to get players back and rethink several things. With the table showing Morón one step ahead on goal difference, Medrán’s team needs to become strong at home again so it doesn’t lose ground on “Gallito.” Attention will also be on what Defensores de Belgrano does this afternoon against Racing de Córdoba, because a result there could tighten up the battle at the top even more.

A week of plenty of buzz and hard work at the training ground is coming. Colón has the names and has home-field advantage; now it has to prove that the stumble in the West was just that, a stumble, and that it is ready to fight for promotion until the very end.
