Instituto de Córdoba and Atlanta battle for Copa Argentina progress | OneFootball

La Gloria need 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 from 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 form 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 Apertura Tournament: they sit 12th and three points off 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' team needs a win to restore confidence ahead of what’s to come.

On the other side, Atlanta are not arriving in their best form either. The team managed by Cristian Pellerano has recorded 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 their opponent’s current form to spring an upset and move on in a competition that always delivers surprises.
