The big dilemma facing Medrán ahead of Estudiantes (BA) | OneFootball

Colón regained the top spot in Zone A after beating All Boys and now turns its attention to the clash with Estudiantes (BA). Will Medrán make changes?

Colón put behind its run of three matches without a win and regained confidence with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over All Boys at the Brigadier López. Ezequiel Medrán’s team once again looked strong in Santa Fe and, beyond sitting second on goal difference behind Deportivo Morón, got back into the thick of the fight in Zone A of the Primera Nacional.

Now, the challenge for the Sabalero will be to maintain that momentum away from home, something that has still been difficult for them this season. Their next match will be this Saturday from 3:30 p.m. against Estudiantes de Buenos Aires in Caseros, where Colón will look to take another important step in the battle to remain among the top spots.

Medrán regained options and is weighing changes at Colón

For the second straight week, the red-and-black coach will have all his players available, a situation he had not been able to enjoy consistently since the start of the championship. With no injured or suspended players, the manager will have room to decide whether to keep the core that beat All Boys or make changes with the next match context in mind.

And that is precisely where one of the main points of analysis appears. Darío Sarmiento delivered an interesting performance against the Floresta side, providing movement and creativity, although he finished exhausted, banged up, and asked to be substituted in the second half. That situation could once again open the door for Matías Muñoz to return to the starting eleven.

The possibility of a tactical tweak would not be unusual. Medrán already made it clear in a press conference that he usually plans each match based on the opponent and the setting, and considering that Colón will once again play away from home, the coach could opt for a midfield with greater balance.

“That doesn’t mean I’m going to repeat it”

After the win over All Boys, the Sabalero coach avoided confirming the lineup for the match in Caseros and left the door open to changes.

“I feel very comfortable using this system, but I always look for what benefits the players and the team’s current moment. It also depends on performance levels. I was satisfied, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to repeat it against Estudiantes. You have to look at everything.”

The coach’s words reflect a clear idea: Colón found positive answers in Santa Fe, but still needs to send a strong message away from the Brigadier López, where it has lost consistency and important points during this stretch of the tournament.

A key test away from Santa Fe

The match against Estudiantes looks like a good test to find out where this Colón side really stands. The win over All Boys brought back calm and enthusiasm, but the team needs to carry that strength on the road if it wants to stay in the fight for promotion.

With a full squad, options to choose from, and renewed spirits, Medrán is preparing a new test for a Sabalero side that wants to show that its recovery was not just a momentary relief, but the beginning of a more solid stage in the season.
