Iván Delfino is looking to give Colón a new look and is preparing a new tactical setup for the match against San Miguel. The Sabalero coach tested, for the first time since his return, a system with two penalty-area references, temporarily shelving his traditional 4-4-1-1. The experiments not only included a change in system, but also several personnel changes.
The coaching staff is looking for more presence in the opposition box and better support for the lead forward. To do so, Delfino tested a 4-4-2 formation using two options up front:
The change in shape creates a domino effect in midfield, influenced by Allende’s departure:
Unlike the midfield and attack, Colón’s defensive structure will keep the same names that have been getting minutes. Matías Budiño will remain between the posts; the back four will be made up of Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen and Facundo Castet.
The Santa Fe side will look for footballing answers in its first away match of this new spell, with a lineup shaping up as follows:
Matías Budiño; Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen, Facundo Castet; Julián Marcioni, Federico Lértora, Agustín Toledo, Ignacio Lago; Alan Bonansea and Leandro Gárate.
