Colón faces a tough challenge this Saturday in Matchday 18 of the Primera Nacional. Ezequiel Medrán’s team will visit Defensores de Belgrano starting at 3:30 p.m. at the Juan Pasquale stadium, with Juan Pafundi as referee. The match will be broadcast live on Radio Gol 96.7, with play-by-play from Damián Palacio alongside Nacho Pettinari on commentary.

El Sabalero is on an uncomfortable run of four consecutive draws, which has dropped them to fifth place in Zone A. The Santa Fe side is currently five points behind the leader, Deportivo Morón, so they urgently need all three points to stay in the fight for automatic promotion.

This match will mark the beginning of a demanding stretch of three consecutive games away from Santa Fe. Playing away from home remains a pending issue for the red-and-black side, which has gone more than a year without winning in Buenos Aires Province, a negative streak Medrán will try to break this afternoon to ease the criticism.

As for the lineup, the coach will stick with the core group that drew against Ciudad Bolívar, keeping Darío Sarmiento in attack and ruling out the inclusion of Matías Muñoz. The decision reaffirms the coaching staff’s backing of the players at a crucial moment for the manager’s future.

For their part, Defensores de Belgrano sit in the final playoff qualification spot with 20 points. César Vigevani’s team comes into the match without Juan De Tomasso, who is suspended after being sent off. Alan Pérez will take his place in the starting eleven, while Diego Magallanes will also come into the lineup.

Probable lineups for the match:

Defensores de Belgrano: Alejandro Medina; Diego Magallanes, Alan Pérez, Nicolás Vaquer, Ian Pérez; Brian Gómez, Luis Jerez Silva, Ignacio Gutiérrez, Leandro Ciccolini; Ezequiel Aguirre and Enzo González. Head coach: César Vigevani.

Colón: Matías Budiño; Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen, Leandro Allende; Julián Marcioni, Federico Lértora, Ignacio Antonio, Ignacio Lago; Darío Sarmiento and Alan Bonansea. Head coach: Ezequiel Medrán.
