Instituto look to close in on the play-offs at Deportivo Riestra | OneFootball

La Gloria, on the rise, dreams of qualification against the Malevo, who is seeking its first win in the tournament.

Deportivo Riestra will host Instituto this Saturday starting at 3:00 PM at the Guillermo Laza, in a match corresponding to Matchday 14 of the Apertura Tournament. Both teams are outside the playoff spots, although their situations are very different.

The “Malevo” is going through a contradictory spell: it recently made history with its international debut after a 0-0 draw against Palestino in the Copa Sudamericana, but domestically it is still winless, with 7 draws and 5 defeats. This match will also mark the debut of Guillermo Duró in the domestic tournament, following the departure of Gustavo Benítez, on the eve of the trip to Porto Alegre to face Grêmio.

On the other side, Diego Flores’s “Gloria” arrives in great form. With five wins in nine matches and after ending Defensa y Justicia’s unbeaten run, Instituto has 14 points and sits just three points away from the qualification spots, so it will look to take advantage of its rival’s fatigue to join the fight.

Probable lineups

Deportivo Riestra: Ignacio Arce; Juan Randazzo, Cristian Paz, Miguel Barbieri, Pedro Ramírez; Nicolás Sansotre, Nicolás Watson, Matías García; Antony Alonso, Alexander Díaz and Jonathan Herrera.Coach: Guillermo Duró.
