The Academy’s poor moment in the local tournament contrasts with the cup’s stellar group stage, and it needs a point to ensure a complete win.
the campaign of to race in the Professional League Tournament 2023, in which he had started as one of the great candidates, is so far to be forgotten and the run of seven without a win, with six losses, placed him in a dangerous position in the annual table. However in the Libertadores cup not only is he undefeated, but he was just one step away from qualifying for the round of 16 as the leader of a group A that looked much more difficult.
The next game on the Academy Cup schedule is probably the most complicated since visit Flamengo at the Maracana. But the league’s defending champion, led by Jorge Sampaoli, is far from his best and, when they met at the Cilindro it was a 1-1 draw.
In the event of a tie replay, Racing will not only manage to secure passage to the Round of 16, but also takes first place in the group. Gago’s men have 10 points and Rubronegro has five, the product of a win, two draws and a loss on the first date. The other meeting of the date is between Aucas (3 points) and Ñublense (4). In fact, If there is an Ecuadorian win or draw, the Avellaneda club will also seal its standings.
What would be the worst case scenario? The victory of Fla and the Chileans, which would take them seven points and in the last visits they are forced to beat the Academy, as today the goal difference is +4 for the Argentines and -3 for those led by Jaime Garcia. In this way, yesOnly a sporting “tragedy” could keep Racing out of its big goal this year.
