The two key matches awaiting Colón in the Primera Nacional | OneFootball

Colón will need to recover quickly from the defeat against Racing de Córdoba and face two decisive matches in its fight for the top spots. El Sabalero will host Deportivo Morón this Saturday, Ferro’s closest challenger, and then travel to Mendoza to take on Godoy Cruz. These will be two important games in defining its ambitions in the final stretch of the championship.

Morón, the first challenge

The loss in Córdoba complicated Colón’s situation. The team remains in third place, but its pursuers are getting closer and closer. Deportivo Morón, its next opponent, extended its lead over El Sabalero to four points, so a win at the Brigadier López would allow Colón to close the gap on second place again.

The match will be played this Saturday starting at 5 p.m. and will be an opportunity for Delfino’s team to respond after a poor performance against Racing de Córdoba.

Then, the trip to Mendoza

After the clash with Morón, Colón will have to travel to Mendoza to visit Godoy Cruz, another of the teams fighting near the top of the table and currently close to the Santa Fe side.

El Sabalero has nine rounds left in the regular phase, and the goal is to finish among the top places to reach the Reducido with home-field advantage. Colón has 45 points, while Ferro leads with 53, and it will have to defend its position against the teams coming from behind.

In addition, Ignacio Lago finished the last match with muscle discomfort and was substituted as a precaution. Meanwhile, Gabriel Risso Patrón is still recovering from a tear in the soleus muscle.

The next two matches will be crucial for Colón. Beating Morón and getting a good result against Godoy Cruz could give the team fresh momentum in the fight for the top spots.
