No confirmed side, but Walter Otta has a clear picture vs Colón | OneFootball

Just hours before the match of the round at the Nuevo Francisco Urbano, we analyze the current state of the «Gallito» with Xiomara Grande. Walter Otta’s team is looking to bring down the league leaders amid a climate of high demands from its supporters.

Next Saturday at 3:30 p.m., the Primera Nacional will come to a standstill for a clash between teams with similar realities but different urgencies. Deportivo Morón, currently one of the tournament’s closest challengers, will host the leaders Colón in a stadium that promises to be packed. However, the current situation of Walter Otta’s team is not as calm as the standings suggest.

The discipline factor: The fans’ biggest concern

Despite being near the top of the table, there is a sense of anger in the Morón camp. The trigger was the latest defeat in Los Polvorines against San Miguel, but the underlying issue is a recurring one: red cards.

Last year, the «Gallito» was one of the teams with the most red cards in the tournament (12 in total). The recent sending-off of Tomás Ramírez in the 40th minute of the first half reignited criticism from club members, who are watching individual mistakes ruin the collective effort. In addition, the defensive level and reliability on set pieces, a strong point in previous campaigns, are now under scrutiny.

Walter Otta’s “Chess Game”: Key absences and returns

To face the Sabalero, Otta will have to piece the puzzle back together. The good news for the home side is the likely return of a key figure: Mariano Víttolo, who would regain his place in the starting eleven.

The squad outlook for Saturday:

Otta and his bond with the West

Walter Otta’s commitment to Morón is total. Despite the rumors linking him with Colón before Medrán’s arrival, the coach chose to stay in Greater Buenos Aires because of his family environment and his determination to take Morón to the top. With a routine that starts at 5 a.m. from his home in Escobar, the manager has the full backing of the club’s leadership for this process.

With a squad that kept the core from last year despite having a smaller budget than other contenders, Morón is preparing for what it considers a final. On Saturday, the Nuevo Francisco Urbano will be the stage where the «Gallito» will try to show that it has what it takes to stop Medrán’s team’s momentum.
