After putting the emphatic 3-0 win over Patronato behind them, Colón is already 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 third in the standings, seven points behind leaders Ferro and two behind second-place Deportivo Morón (which still has a game in hand). At this stage of the tournament, every match is crucial to avoid losing ground in the fight 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 team that will face the GreenThunder. It is unlikely that the last starting lineup 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 uncertainty arises, as Buosi is battling to keep his starting spot against Franco García.

Questions in midfield and attack

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

Up front, Leandro Garate is shaping up 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 probable lineup

With this outlook, the possible Colón 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; Jerónimo Buosi or Franco García; Ignacio Lago and Leandro Garate or Alan Bonansea.

With the clear goal of keeping pace with Ferro and capitalizing on any mistakes by its direct rivals, Colón travels knowing it must take all three points to solidify its place in the division’s top fight.
