Instituto de Córdoba and Atlanta battle for a place in Copa Argentina | OneFootball

La Gloria needs a win to regain confidence, while El Bohemio will look to pull off an upset in Rafaela. The winner already has a confirmed opponent in the next round.

Instituto and Atlanta will face off this Wednesday starting at 9:15 p.m. at the Nuevo Monumental Stadium, in the Round of 64 of the 2026 Copa Argentina. The match will be key for both sides, who come in with inconsistent performances and need to advance to lift their spirits. The winner will face Lanús in the next stage, after they knocked out Sarmiento de La Banda.

Instituto is going through a delicate spell in the Torneo Apertura: they sit in 12th place and three points outside the playoff spots, with just one win in their last five matches. In their most recent outing, they lost 2-0 to Boca and also suffered the loss of their star player Alex Luna, who has an ankle sprain and will be rested. Diego Flores's team needs a win to restore confidence for what lies ahead.

On the other side, Atlanta is not arriving in its best form either. The team managed by Cristian Pellerano has two wins, one draw, and three losses in the Primera Nacional, and is coming off a 1-0 home defeat to Ferro. Even so, El Bohemio will try to take advantage of its rival’s current form to pull off an upset and move on in a competition that always delivers surprises.
