Belgrano host Aldosivi, aiming to stay in the qualification spots | OneFootball

The Pirate has gone three matches without a win and will look to bounce back against a Shark side still searching for its first victory in the tournament.

Belgrano and Aldosivi will face off this Friday from 9:00 PM at the Julio César Villagra Stadium, on matchday 14 of the 2026 Apertura Tournament, in a key clash for both teams.

The Córdoba side had a strong start to the season, but in recent rounds it has lost consistency and comes into this one on a negative run of three matches without a win. During that stretch, it drew 0-0 in the derby against Talleres and lost to Racing (2-1) and River Plate (3-0).

Ricardo Zielinski’s team sits fifth in Zone B with 19 points, seven behind leaders Independiente Rivadavia, and needs to take all three points to avoid losing ground in the race for a playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Aldosivi is going through a difficult spell. The Mar del Plata side still has not won in the tournament, and not even the arrival of Israel Damonte has managed to turn things around.

Since the new head coach took over, the Shark lost 2-0 to Argentinos Juniors and drew 0-0 against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, which keeps it in second-to-last place in the standings.

Already out of contention for the next stage, Aldosivi’s main objective is now to pick up points to avoid relegation, as it is currently in trouble in both tables and would be going down.
