Matchday 13: Avellaneda Clásico takes centre stage in key round

The final stretch of the Torneo Apertura is starting to take shape. This Wednesday, matchday 13 of the Professional League kicks off, a round that promises major movement in the standings ahead of qualification for the next phase.

Kickoff: Lanús looks to strengthen its position

The action will begin at 20:00 at “La Fortaleza,” where Lanús will host Platense. “El Granate” comes in holding a promising position, sitting fourth in Zone A with 18 points, and needs all three points to solidify its place in the qualification zone. Meanwhile, “El Calamar” is going through an inconsistent run with just 10 points in tenth place, which means it must win to keep its mathematical hopes alive. The match will be officiated by Sebastián Martínez, with Salomé Di Iorio on VAR, and broadcast on TNT Sports Premium.
