Colón's big challenge: bounce back v Godoy Cruz despite absences | OneFootball

Colón will face a test of character against Godoy Cruz. After the defeat to Deportivo Morón, El Sabalero needs to bounce back quickly to avoid losing more ground in the battle for Zone A of the Primera Nacional.

The match in Mendoza, scheduled for Sunday at 6 p.m., shapes up as an important challenge against a direct rival. Godoy Cruz took advantage of the last round to move above Colón in the standings, so the game will carry special value for both teams.

Iván Delfino, meanwhile, will have to reshuffle the team due to the absences of Ignacio Lago and Matías Muñoz, while Pier Barrios and Federico Lértora remain doubtful with different physical issues. Darío Sarmiento appears to be the main option to replace Lago in attack.

Lago’s absence is a major blow for Colón, as he is the team’s top scorer and leading assist provider. However, the team has a positive precedent: when the forward did not play against Deportivo Madryn, El Sabalero managed to come from behind and win 2-1 away from home.

With eight rounds still to play, Colón needs to react and regain its solidity. The visit to Godoy Cruz will be an opportunity to show that the loss to Morón was just a stumble and that the team is still in a position to fight for a good spot ahead of the Reducido.
