Colón target win at Defensores to move clear of relegation zone | OneFootball

Colón, needing to add points to confirm their stay, will visit Defensores de Belgrano at 19:10 at Juan Pasquale, for matchday 29.

For the 29th matchday of Zone B of the Primera Nacional, Colón will play this Monday at Juan Pasquale against Defensores de Belgrano, with Yamil Possi as the referee.

The Sabalero comes to this match needing to add points to widen the gap over Defensores Unidos de Zárate, their direct rival in the fight to stay in the category. CADU defeated Talleres de Remedios de Escalada and is now nine points behind Colón, with 18 points still in play.

The team led by Ezequiel Medrán comes from a draw at Brigadier López against Chacarita (1-1) and will repeat the base of that lineup, with some necessary adjustments. Zahir Yunis will be available again after serving a one-match suspension, while Emmanuel Gigliotti will have to serve a suspension for accumulating yellow cards. Additionally, the coach will not be able to count on the injured Christian Bernardi, Nicolás Thaller, Lautaro Gaitán, and Agustín Giménez.

How Defensores de Belgrano arrives at the clash against the Sabalero

Regarding the opponent, the Dragon led by Fabián Nardozza will seek to be strong at home, where they aim to consolidate their football improvement. Ezequiel Aguirre and Emiliano Vecchio, both recovering, will not be available, nor will Agustín Massaccesi, suspended for five yellow cards. The good news for the home team is the return of Gustavo Mendoza.

Despite the second major objective — reaching the Reducido positions — being practically ruled out due to the 16-point difference, Colón knows they need to secure their stay as soon as possible. Therefore, the clash in Bajo Núñez appears as a key test to prevent their pursuers' hopes from growing.

Probable lineups for Defensores de Belgrano and Colón

Defensores de Belgrano: Alejandro Medina; Gustavo Mendoza, Gonzalo Gamarra, Juan Pablo Segovia, Fernando Rodríguez; Agustín Benítez, Juan de Tomasso, Ignacio Gutiérrez, Patricio Moyano; Enzo Gonzalez, Francisco Tcherkaski. Coach: Fabián Nardozza.
