Colón keeping an eye on: Saturday's matches that matter to Sabalero | OneFootball

Colón will host All Boys this Sunday at the Brigadier López, but before that, there will be several matches to keep a close eye on 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 table.

El Gallo, the league leader with 21 points, will host Mil Rayitas this Saturday starting at 3 p.m. Los Andes sit third with 17 points and are going through a very strong spell. Colón, in second place with 19 points, will be watching closely 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 on top.

Morón comes into the match riding high after earning a draw against Godoy Cruz in Mendoza, and it boasts a key strength at home: one draw and five straight wins at its stadium. Across from them will be a Los Andes side that is unbeaten in five matches and is coming off a 1-1 draw precisely against Colón in Lomas de Zamora.

A showdown between Morón and Los Andes that could favor Colón

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

For this match, Morón would field 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 battle 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 has 14 points and appears as one of Colón’s upcoming opponents.

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

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

With this outlook, Colón will go into Sunday’s match knowing exactly what it needs to stay in the mix at the top and put pressure on the Zone A leader.
