Ezequiel Medrán’s side comes into the match after three consecutive draws and knows it must make home advantage count before a demanding run of away fixtures.

The unfinished business

On paper, Club Atlético Colón has the tactical tools to impose itself at the Brigadier Estanislao López Stadium.

It will be a key duel between the best home team in the group and one of the most troublesome away sides in the division, crucial in shaping both teams’ ambitions before the final stretch of the season.
