San Martín, Godoy Cruz and Aldosivi battle to avoid the drop today | OneFootball

With just one matchday remaining in the 2025 Clausura Tournament, the battle to stay in the league in Argentine football has turned into a high-voltage drama. The final matchday is shaping up to be a day of heart-stopping decisions, with three teams playing for their fate and two spots for relegation to the Primera Nacional still up for grabs.

In the fifteenth matchday, several clubs managed to secure their stay: Sarmiento, Atlético Tucumán, Gimnasia, Newell’s Old Boys, Talleres de Córdoba, and Instituto confirmed they will continue competing in the top division next season.

Now, the cruel fight to avoid relegation is narrowed down to three teams on the edge. Aldosivi, with 30 points, starts with a slight advantage but is still in a precarious position. Immediately behind, with 28 points, are San Martín de San Juan and Godoy Cruz, who must perform a feat to avoid falling. At the end of the final matchday, inevitably, two of these three clubs will drop to the Primera Nacional.

The schedule has set up decisive clashes. San Martín de San Juan will have a great opportunity to cling to the league by playing away against Aldosivi. The team from San Juan is obliged to win, as a draw does not help them and would seal their relegation. Meanwhile, Godoy Cruz will host Riestra at home. The team from Mendoza is also forced to win; their only chance of salvation is to achieve victory and for Aldosivi not to win, thus forcing a nail-biting tiebreaker to decide which of the two stays.

The tension is palpable in the air: the final matchday promises to be a whirlwind of emotions and calculations, where every goal and every point will be worth staying in the elite of Argentine football.
