Next Monday, Colón will visit Defensores de Belgrano at the Juan Pasquale stadium, starting at 19:10, for the 29th matchday of Zone B of the Primera Nacional. The standout detail beforehand is that Ezequiel Medrán might repeat the lineup that drew 1-1 against Chacarita at the Brigadier López, which was his debut as the sabalero coach.
To find the last time Colón repeated the same starting eleven from one match to another, you have to go back more than six months, to the start of the championship. It was in matchdays 3 and 4, when the team then managed by Ariel Pereyra consecutively defeated Mitre de Santiago del Estero (1-0 away on February 23, with a goal by Brian Negro) and then Chaco For Ever (2-1 on March 2 in Santa Fe, with goals from Emmanuel Gigliotti and Federico Jourdan, while Facundo Sánchez —own goal— scored for the Chaco team).
In those matches, Colón lined up with: Marcos Díaz; Guillermo Ortiz, Nicolás Thaller, and Brian Negro; Facundo Sánchez, Alan Forneris, Nicolás Talpone, and Facundo Castet; Christian Bernardi, José Barreto, and Emmanuel Gigliotti.
From that initial team, only Guillermo Ortiz, Facundo Castet, Nicolás Talpone, and José Barreto remain as starters today. The rest are in different situations: Gigliotti is suspended for this match, Marcos Díaz was removed from the squad, Bernardi is injured, and Forneris was transferred to Racing.
In this way, Medrán would bet on the continuity of the lineup that debuted in his cycle against Chacarita, with the following probable lineup to face the Dragon: Tomás Giménez; Gonzalo Bettini, Gonzalo Soto, Guillermo Ortiz, and Facundo Castet; Federico Jourdan, Oscar Garrido, Nicolás Talpone, and Ignacio Lago; José Barreto and Facundo Castro.
