Racing face tricky trip to Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza | OneFootball

Racing face a tricky visit to Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza on Sunday in Zone B’s seventh round of the Torneo Clausura, needing a positive result to stay in touch with the play-off places.

According to SuperDepor.com, kick-off is at 21:30 at the Estadio Bautista Gargantini, live on TNT Sports Premium. Álvaro Carranza will referee, with Héctor Paletta on VAR.

Racing’s form has been patchy, with only five points so far in the Clausura, leaving them outside the play-off positions and some way off next year’s international berths.

Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s side took four points from the opening two matches, then slipped to three straight defeats, before a 1-1 draw with Boca last time out.

Independiente Rivadavia are 10th in Zone B on eight points, and a win would draw them closer to the front-runners.

The Lepra Mendocina, coached by Alfredo Berti, are level with Argentinos Juniors at the top of the annual table, keeping alive hopes of the league crown awarded to the overall leaders.

Probable line-ups. Independiente Rivadavia, Nicolás Bolcato, Iván Villalba, Sheyko Studer, Leonard Costa, Juan Manuel Elordi, José Florentín, Tomás Bottari, Matías Fernández, Ezequiel Bonifacio, Maximiliano Salas, Alex Arce. Racing, Facundo Cambeses, Ignacio Rodríguez, Marcos Rojo, Mateo Martínez, Ezequiel Cannavo, Leonel Pérez, Ulises Ortegoza, Gastón Lodico, Matko Miljevic, Elías Torres, Tomás Conechny.
