What Colón will chase for the first time this season v Racing de Córdoba | OneFootball

Colón will head into next Sunday’s match against Racing de Córdoba at the Miguel Sancho stadium in Nueva Italia with more than just the need to pick up points to stay in the hunt in the Primera Nacional.

Iván Delfino’s team is going through its best spell of the season and will have the chance to reach two marks it has still not achieved in 2026.

El Sabalero is coming off three straight wins. First it beat San Telmo and Patronato at the Brigadier López, and then earned a very important away victory over San Miguel in Los Polvorines.

That is why another win this Sunday would allow it to claim four consecutive victories for the first time in the championship.

The first big streak Colón is chasing

Colón has already managed to win three matches in a row this season. That run came between matchdays 7 and 9, when it defeated Patronato 2-0, San Miguel 3-0, and Racing de Córdoba 1-0, all while playing at home at the Brigadier López.

Now it will have the chance to better that mark, although with an added difficulty: this time it will have to do it away from home.

The closest precedent for a run of three straight wins dates back to 2025. Between matchdays 2 and 4, El Sabalero beat Nueva Chicago 2-1, Mitre 1-0 in Santiago del Estero, and Chaco For Ever 2-1.

However, it has not managed to reach four consecutive victories since then.

Two straight away wins, an unfinished task

The other challenge is directly tied to its performances away from Santa Fe. If Colón manages to beat Racing de Córdoba, it will record two consecutive away victories, something it has not done in about two years.

The last time El Sabalero achieved that mark was on matchday 11 of the Primera Nacional, when it beat Deportivo Morón 2-0 at the Nuevo Francisco Urbano and then thrashed Brown de Adrogué 4-0 away from home.

Since then, Colón has not put together two wins in a row outside Santa Fe.

That is why the match against Racing de Córdoba will carry special appeal. Delfino’s team comes in on the rise and with three straight wins, but it will also have the chance to break a barrier that has eluded it for a long time.

A moment to take another step

Colón’s recovery is not reflected only in the results. Delfino’s return allowed the team to quickly collect the points it needed and reach the decisive stretch of the tournament in a different frame of mind.

Now Racing de Córdoba appears as a new test. If it can get past it, El Sabalero will not only earn three important points for its goals in Zone A: it will also be able to put together a four-game winning streak for the first time this season and, at the same time, win two straight matches outside Santa Fe again.
