Independiente out to claim victory against Central Córdoba this Saturday | OneFootball

Independiente will host Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero this Saturday for the eighth round of the Torneo Apertura, aiming to return to victory and get back into the fight for the top positions in Zone A.

The match, which will be held at the Libertadores de América – Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium starting at 20:00, will have live coverage by Agencia Noticias Argentinas and will be broadcast on ESPN Premium. The referee will be Darío Herrera, while Diego Ceballos will be in charge of the VAR.

Independiente had a decent start in the Torneo Apertura, losing only one of the first seven matches. However, Gustavo Quinteros' team struggled to secure three points as, despite dominating most matches, they only won two games.

This time, the "Rojo," currently seventh in Zone A with seven points, will seek to return to victory after two rounds to reignite hopes of competing for the top positions.

Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero, on the other hand, had a weak start to the season and is positioned 12th in Zone A with only eight points.

Nevertheless, if they manage to pull off an upset in Avellaneda, Lucas Pusineri's team could end the round in playoff positions.
