Estudiantes visit Newell’s aiming for top spot, looking to overtake Unión | OneFootball

El Pincha visits Lepra in the match that will close the tenth round of the Clausura Tournament of the Professional League.

Estudiantes de La Plata will visit Newell’s Old Boys this Tuesday at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa, starting at 19.00, in the closing of the tenth round of the Clausura Tournament of the Professional League. The Pincha will seek to recover from their recent elimination in the Copa Libertadores and climb to the top of Zone A, while the Lepra is going through a tough time that keeps them in the second-to-last place on the table.

The Rosario team, led by Cristian Fabbiani, has had a complicated month: they lost the classic against Rosario Central, were eliminated from the Copa Argentina against Belgrano, and have only managed one victory in their recent matches. The sports crisis led to a self-convocation of fans who demanded early elections, increasing the tension. After the tough 3-0 loss to the Pirate, the controversy grew due to a post by Gimena Vascon, the coach's wife, who wrote “beautiful bed” on social media and then deleted it.

On the visitor's side, the team led by Eduardo Domínguez will have to turn the page after the penalty shootout elimination against Flamengo in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. Despite the emotional blow, the Pincha left a good impression and will now focus entirely on the Clausura, where they need to add points to reach the top and also continue climbing in the annual table that determines the spots for international cups.

Nevertheless, the coach is closely monitoring the progress of Guido Carrillo and Román Gómez, who ended with physical discomfort in the last match.
