Next Monday, Colón will visit Defensores de Belgrano at the Juan Pasquale stadium, starting at 19:10, for matchday 29 of Zone B in the Primera Nacional. The main highlight ahead of the game is that Ezequiel Medrán could repeat the lineup that drew 1-1 against Chacarita at the Brigadier López, which was his debut as Sabalero’s coach.
To find the last time Colón repeated the same starting eleven from one match to the next, you have to go back more than six months, to the start of the championship. It was on matchdays 3 and 4, when the team then managed by Ariel Pereyra won consecutively against Mitre de Santiago del Estero (1-0 away on February 23, with a goal by Brian Negro) and then against Chaco For Ever (2-1 on March 2 in Santa Fe, with goals from Emmanuel Gigliotti and Federico Jourdan, while Facundo Sánchez —own goal— scored for the visitors).
In those matches, Colón lined up with: Marcos Díaz; Guillermo Ortiz, Nicolás Thaller, and Brian Negro; Facundo Sánchez, Alan Forneris, Nicolás Talpone, and Facundo Castet; Christian Bernardi, José Barreto, and Emmanuel Gigliotti.
From that starting lineup, only Guillermo Ortiz, Facundo Castet, Nicolás Talpone, and José Barreto remain as starters today. The rest are in different situations: Gigliotti is suspended for this match, Marcos Díaz has been left out of the squad, Bernardi is injured, and Forneris was transferred to Racing.
Thus, Medrán would likely stick with the lineup that debuted in his tenure against Chacarita, with the following probable lineup to face the Dragón: Tomás Giménez; Gonzalo Bettini, Gonzalo Soto, Guillermo Ortiz, and Facundo Castet; Federico Jourdan, Oscar Garrido, Nicolás Talpone, and Ignacio Lago; José Barreto and Facundo Castro.
