What Colón will target 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 Primera Nacional fight.

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 it earned a very important away victory against 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 rounds 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 beat that mark, although with an added difficulty: this time it will have to do it away from home.

The closest precedent of a three-game winning streak dates back to 2025. Between rounds 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 never managed to reach four straight wins since then.

Two straight away wins, unfinished business

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

The last time El Sabalero reached that mark was in round 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 carries special appeal. Delfino’s team comes into it 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 only reflected 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 mood.

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 Zone A goals: 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.
