Platense visit Deportivo Riestra chasing top spot in their group | OneFootball

At the Guillermo Laza, the Malevo, who have yet to win in the championship and are second to last, face the Calamar.

Deportivo Riestra and Platense will face each other this Monday from 19:15 at the Guillermo Laza stadium, for the 8th round of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. The “Malevo” needs their first victory to climb out of the bottom of Zone A, while the “Calamar” are looking to stay among the contenders.

Riestra is going through a delicate moment. In seven matches played, they have yet to win and have only 4 points, the result of four draws. The team managed by Gustavo Benítez is second to last in the standings, only above Newell’s Old Boys, who have 2 points. The need to earn three points is urgent for the team from Bajo Flores.

Platense, on the other hand, arrives in a different situation. The team led by Walter Zunino has 12 points, with three wins, two draws, and one loss. They are coming off a goalless draw against Defensa y Justicia in Vicente López and will be looking to return to victory to avoid losing ground in the fight for qualification.

Riestra: Ignacio Arce; Cristian Paz, Nicolás Sansotre, Facundo Miño, Juan Cruz Randazzo, Pedro Ramírez; Jonatan Goitía, Nicolás Watson; Antony Alonso, Jonathan Herrera, Nicolás Benegas. Coach: Gustavo Benítez.
