Racing rotate squad for Aldosivi clash, eyes on Libertadores | OneFootball

La Academia will open Matchday 13 of the Clausura Tournament this Friday from 7:00 p.m. against a Tiburón riding a hot streak and dreaming of staying in the division. Costas is thinking about Flamengo, but he needs to pick up points at home.

Racing and Aldosivi will play this Friday at 7:00 p.m. at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, kicking off the 13th round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. Gustavo Costas’s team is coming off a 3–1 win over Banfield and bounced back from the setback against River, right before facing the Copa Libertadores semifinal against Flamengo.

On the other side, the team from Mar del Plata arrives buoyed by two key wins over Unión and Huracán, fueling hopes of climbing out of the bottom and staying up.

As for the Academia’s present, Racing knows it can’t drop more points if it wants to secure a playoff spot in the Clausura. However, the main focus is on the cup clash on Wednesday at the Maracanã. Costas is planning a forced rotation, as he won’t be able to count on Gabriel Rojas, injured against Banfield, nor on Franco Pardo and Elías Torres. In addition, Alan Forneris, Juan Nardoni, and Santiago Sosa are working to be fit for the clash with Mengão.

For their part, Aldosivi is enjoying its best moment of the semester. After a rough start, the Tiburón found consistency and knocked off Unión, the leaders at the time, with a 2–0 win in Santa Fe, a result they repeated at the Minella against Huracán. Even so, they remain second-to-last in the relegation averages and in the annual table, only above San Martín de San Juan, but with renewed hope.
