Colón keeping an eye on: Saturday's key matches for Sabalero | OneFootball

Colón will host All Boys this Sunday at the Brigadier López, but first they will have several matches to watch closely in Primera Nacional’s Zone A. Above all, one: the clash between Deportivo Morón and Los Andes, which could shake up the top of the standings.

El Gallo, the league leader with 21 points, will host Mil Rayitas this Saturday from 3 p.m. Mil Rayitas sit third with 17 points and are going through a very good spell. Colón, in second place with 19 points, will be keeping a close eye on what happens at the Nuevo Francisco Urbano, since a slip-up by Walter Otta’s side would open the door for them to try to end the round as leaders.

Morón come into the match on a high after earning a draw against Godoy Cruz in Mendoza, and they boast a key strength at home: one draw and five straight wins at their stadium. Across from them will be a Los Andes side unbeaten in five matches and coming off a 1-1 draw precisely against Colón in Lomas de Zamora.

A Morón vs. Los Andes clash that could benefit Colón

The meeting between first and third looks like an ideal opportunity for Ezequiel Medrán’s team. If Morón drop points and Colón beat All Boys on Sunday in Santa Fe, El Sabalero could climb to the top of Zone A.

For this match, Morón would start Julio Salvá; Leonel Cardozo, Braian Salvareschi, Franco Vázquez, Joaquín Livera; Santiago Kubiszyn, Mauro Burruchaga or Maximiliano González, Mariano Bíttolo; Juan Manuel Olivares; Gonzalo Berterame and Franco Fagundez.

Meanwhile, Leonardo Lemos would make changes to Los Andes due to several injury absences. Mil Rayitas would line up with Sebastián López; Julián Rodríguez Vuotto, Brian Leizza, Daniel Franco, Peter Martínez Grance; Gabriel Cañete, Sergio Ortiz, Alex Valdez Chamorro, Matías González; Facundo Villarreal and Mauricio Asenjo.

Other matches being closely followed in Santa Fe

Saturday’s schedule will also feature other important matches in the fight for playoff spots and the middle of the table.

At 3:30 p.m., Estudiantes de Caseros will visit San Miguel looking to move closer to the qualification spots. El Pincha have 14 points and appear as one of Colón’s upcoming opponents.

Also, Mitre de Santiago del Estero, coming off a win and looking to move away from the bottom, will visit San Telmo from 3 p.m. at Isla Maciel.

Meanwhile, in Zone B, there will also be action with the matches between Tristán Suárez-Midland, Temperley-Deportivo Maipú, San Martín de San Juan-Patronato and Atlético de Rafaela-Gimnasia y Tiro.

With this outlook, Colón will go into Sunday’s match knowing exactly what they need to stay in the hunt at the top and put pressure on the Zone A leaders.
