Colón face tough test as surprise Acassuso visit Brigadier López | OneFootball

Starting at 8:00 PM, Colón will host the leader Acassuso for matchday 5 of the Primera Nacional zone, seeking another victory and, at the same time, to maintain their unbeaten record.

Colón will face a high-voltage challenge this Saturday at the Brigadier López Stadium, when they take on the leader Acassuso in the fifth round of the Primera Nacional. The match will kick off at 8:00 PM, pitting one of the main contenders of zone A against the team at the top of the table.

The Sabalero will look to return to winning ways after two matches without a victory, while also aiming to keep their unbeaten run in the tournament. On the other side will be a rival that arrives in great form, having won all three of their matches and sitting at the top of the group.

With this match in mind, coach Ezequiel Medrán is expected to make two changes compared to the last game. Conrado Ibarra is set to take the place of the injured Julián Marcioni. During the lead-up, another setback arose for the coaching staff: Leandro Allende suffered a muscle tear when he had a real chance of making the starting lineup. Additionally, Federico Lértora will make his debut as a starter, replacing Matías Muñoz. Thus, despite this unforeseen issue, the core of the team would remain largely unchanged.

In the lead-up to the match, Medrán himself analyzed what it could mean to face the group leader. “Acassuso is doing very well, they’ve won all three matches and have consistency. It’s a team that responds well, so it will be a good test for us,” said the Sabalero coach.

Probable lineups for Colón and Acassuso

Colón: Matías Budiño; Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen, and Facundo Castet; Conrado Ibarra, Ignacio Antonio, Federico Lértora, Ignacio Lago; Lucas Cano, and Alan Bonansea. Coach: Ezequiel Medrán.
