After putting the emphatic 3-0 win over Patronato behind them, Colón is now focused on its next challenge: visiting San Miguel this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Los Polvorines, for Matchday 27 of Zone A of the PrimeraNacional.

El Sabalero remains in third place in the standings, seven points behind leaders Ferro and two behind runners-up Deportivo Morón (who still have a game in hand). At this stage of the tournament, every match is crucial to avoid losing ground in the race for the top spots.

Delfino gets players back and evaluates the starting eleven

The big news for Iván Delfino is that the last match left no injured or suspended players. In addition, over the course of the week, the head coach could once again have Federico Lértora, Emanuel Beltrán, Alan Bonansea and Darío Sarmiento available.

This string of returns raises several questions regarding the lineup that will face the TruenoVerde. It is unlikely that the last starting eleven will be repeated, especially considering that against Patronato there was an early change: Jerónimo Buosi came on for Leandro Allende, which altered the attacking setup. It is precisely in that area where one of the main doubts lies, as Buosi is battling to keep his place in the starting lineup against Franco García.

Questions in midfield and attack

Another key battle is opening up in midfield. The return of Federico Lértora could bring about the most significant change in the team’s structure, although Matías Muñoz is coming off a strong performance and is fighting to hold on to his spot.

Up front, Leandro Garate looks set to return as the main attacking reference. Although Alan Bonansea has already been medically cleared and will join the squad, everything suggests he would begin the match on the bench.

The Sabalero’s likely lineup

With this outlook, Colón’s possible lineup for the match in Los Polvorines would be: Matías Budiño; Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen and Facundo Castet; Julián Marcioni, Matías Muñoz (or Federico Lértora), Agustín Toledo and Leandro Allende (or Jerónimo Buosi/Franco García); Ignacio Lago and Leandro Garate (or Alan Bonansea).

With the clear goal of staying on Ferro’s heels and taking advantage of any slip-up by their direct rivals, Colón heads into the trip knowing it must take all three points to strengthen its place in the fight at the top of the division.
