Colón and Morón set for a key battle at the top | OneFootball

Colón will have a hugely important commitment this Saturday against Deportivo Morón in Round 28 of Primera Nacional’s Zone A. The match will be played from 5 p.m. at Brigadier López Stadium and will pit two teams that are currently near the top of the standings.

El Sabalero comes into the game in third place with 45 points, while Morón is second with 49. That is why a victory would allow the team coached by Iván Delfino to cut the gap to just one point behind the Buenos Aires side and strengthen its hopes of finishing among the championship contenders.

The match shapes up as an opportunity for Colón to reassert itself at home and move past the stumble against Racing de Córdoba. The Santa Fe side needs to recover its best footballing form at a stage of the tournament where every result is starting to carry greater weight.

Ahead of the match, Delfino has one major doubt in Ignacio Lago, who is dealing with discomfort in his left thigh and will be evaluated over the next few days to determine whether he is fit to play.

The good news for the coach is the return of Darío Sarmiento, who is available again after recovering from an injury and presents himself as an option when putting the team together.

In addition, the coaching staff will have to pay close attention to the disciplinary situation. Lago, Facundo Castet and Mauro Peinipil have each accumulated four yellow cards and, if they are booked again against Morón, they could be suspended for the next round.

With nine matches still to go, Colón knows it has an important opportunity ahead to move closer to the top spots. In that sense, the clash against Morón will be a real test for Delfino’s team and a concrete chance to take a step forward in the fight for promotion.
