Atlético Rafaela v Ciudad de Bolívar for Primera Nacional promotion | OneFootball

Ciudad de Bolívar and Atlético Rafaela will play this Sunday from 16:00 at the Estadio Único de San Nicolás, which will host both sets of fans, for the Federal A final. One year after their relegation, the team from Santa Fe has the chance to return to Primera Nacional, but to do so they must overcome Celeste, who are coming off a big win in the semifinal against Argentino de Monte Maíz.

The team from Buenos Aires showed superiority throughout the championship and was consistently positioned as one of the favorites since taking first place in their group in both the first and second phases. In their first knockout match, they thrashed San Martín de Formosa and advanced with an aggregate score of 5-1, then went on to defeat Argentino de Monte Maíz in the semifinals by overturning the series with a convincing 3-0 at the Estadio Municipal Eva Perón.

On the other hand, La Crema did not arrive with the same dominance, but grew stronger as the competition progressed: they qualified third in Group 4 and later as second in Group B. In the direct elimination rounds, they faced Olimpo, whom they knocked out in a thrilling finish in Santa Fe, where they showed their strength in the semifinals and beat Sportivo Belgrano 3-0.

Probable lineups:

Ciudad de Bolívar: Gonzalo Laborda; Agustín Paredes, Ezequiel Navarro, Elías Martínez, Luciano Lapetina; Nahuel Yeri, Brian Quintana; Álex Díaz, Arnaldo González, Brian Duarte, and Khalil Caraballo. Coach: Diego Funes.
