Estudiantes visit Newell’s aiming for top spot, looking to overtake Unión | OneFootball

El Pincha visits the Lepra in the match that will close the tenth round of the Torneo Clausura of the Professional League.

Estudiantes de La Plata will visit Newell’s Old Boys this Tuesday at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa, starting at 19:00, in the closing match of the tenth round of the Torneo Clausura of the Professional League. Pincha will be looking to recover from their recent elimination in the Copa Libertadores and climb to the top of Zone A, while Lepra is going through a tough period that keeps them in second-to-last place in the standings.

The Rosario team, managed by Cristian Fabbiani, has had a difficult month: they lost the derby against Rosario Central, were eliminated from the Copa Argentina by Belgrano, and have managed only one win in their recent matches. The sporting crisis led to a self-organized gathering of fans demanding early elections, increasing the tension. After the tough 3-0 defeat to the Pirata, controversy grew over a post by Gimena Vascon, the coach’s wife, who wrote “nice setup” on social media and then deleted it.

On the visitors’ side, the team led by Eduardo Domínguez will have to turn the page after being eliminated on penalties by Flamengo in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. Despite the emotional blow, Pincha left a good impression and will now focus entirely on the Clausura, where they need to pick up points to reach the top and also keep climbing in the annual table that determines spots for international cups.

In any case, the coach is closely monitoring the recovery of Guido Carrillo and Román Gómez, who finished the last match with physical discomfort.
