Copa Argentina: Newell’s v Belgrano in San Luis for final spot | OneFootball

Newell's and Belgrano de Córdoba will face off this Wednesday for a spot in the semifinals of the Copa Argentina, where Argentinos Juniors is already waiting, having eliminated Lanús.

The match, which will take place at the Estadio La Pedrera de San Luis, will start at 18:00 and can be watched on TyC Sports. The appointed referee is Leandro Rey Hilfer.

Newell's has been performing very well in this Copa Argentina, having eliminated Kimberley de Mar del Plata on penalties in their debut, and then defeating Defensa y Justicia (2-0) and Atlético Tucumán (3-2) in a thrilling match.

This is the second time the team from Rosario is playing in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina. The only previous instance for “La Lepra” at this stage was in 2018, when they were eliminated by their classic rival, Rosario Central.

Despite their good run in this Copa Argentina, the team led by Cristian “Ogro” Fabbiani is going through a tough time in the Torneo Clausura, where they are in ninth place and not qualifying for the playoffs.

On the other side is Belgrano de Córdoba, who made it to the top eight thanks to good wins against Real Pilar (3-1), Defensores de Belgrano (3-2), and Independiente (2-0).

The team led by Ricardo Zielinski wants to repeat their best historical performance in this competition, which was reaching the semifinals in the 2016 edition, where they lost to Rosario Central by 2-0.

The Córdoba team also had a modest start in the Torneo Clausura, where they only accumulated nine points in the first eight matches and have gone four games without a win.

The winner of this match will face Argentinos Juniors in the semifinals, who recently won 1-0 over Lanús.

These are the probable lineups and other details of the match

Newell's: Juan Espínola; Alejo Montero, Víctor Cuesta, Luciano Lollo, Alejo Tabares; Luca Regiardo, Ever Banega; Josué Colman, Bruno Maroni, Franco Orozco; Carlos González. Coach: Cristian Fabbiani.
