Colón and Morón set for key clash in the race for the top spots | OneFootball

Colón will face a hugely important match 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 currently near the top of the standings against each other.

El Sabalero come into the game in third place with 45 points, while Morón are second with 49. Therefore, a win 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 looks like an opportunity for Colón to become strong at home again and put behind them the setback suffered against Racing de Córdoba. The Santa Fe team needs to recover its best footballing form at a stage of the tournament where every result is starting to carry greater weight.

Heading into 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 for the team setup.

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

With nine rounds still to go, Colón know they have 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.
