Colón host Estudiantes de Río Cuarto aiming for victory to secure survival | OneFootball

Colón will look to take a big step towards salvation this Monday, when at 19:00 they host Estudiantes de Río Cuarto at the Brigadier López.

This Monday at 19:00, at the Brigadier López stadium, Colón will face a high-voltage match against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, for Matchday 30 of Zone B in the Primera Nacional. The match, which will be broadcast on TyC Sports Play, will have Pablo Giménez as the main referee, accompanied by Ramón Ortiz and Joaquín Badano as assistants, while Federico Guaymas will be the fourth official.

How Colón and Estudiantes (RC) arrive

El Sabalero comes in needing to confirm their stay in the division, a goal that now seems much closer after the defeats of their direct rivals: Defensores Unidos, who remain nine points behind, and Talleres de Remedios de Escalada, who are still 11 points back. In this context, Ezequiel Medrán’s team has a great chance to take a decisive step in front of their home crowd.

The big news for the rojinegro side is the return of Emmanuel Gigliotti, who has served his suspension for accumulated yellow cards and will once again lead the attack. In addition, defender Nicolás Thaller has recovered from a muscle tear and will return to the backline, providing greater solidity in defense. On the other hand, Colón will still be without Lautaro Gaitán, Tomás Gallay, and Christian Bernardi, who are training separately and are not part of the squad.

On the other side will be Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, who arrive in Santa Fe with the momentum of having beaten Temperley 1-0, a result that keeps them firmly in the fight for direct promotion spots. With 50 points on the table, the León knows that every point can make the difference in this final stretch of the tournament.

Coach Iván Delfino, a former Colón manager, brings confidence and stability to a team that has gotten used to fighting hard. “This team is ready to fight for truly important things,” said the Cordoban coach, highlighting tactical preparation and thorough analysis of each opponent as the pillars of their strong performance. “The key is not to panic, to pick up points every match, and to keep our focus on the big goal,” he added.

Thus, while Colón will try to put the defeat against Defensores de Belgrano behind them and secure their place in the division, Estudiantes will be playing for much more than three points: the dream of moving closer to the top and fueling their hopes of promotion. The Brigadier López will be the stage for a clash that promises intensity, urgency, and, above all, a lot at stake for both teams.
