With five matches left in the regular phase, no team will be able to make it and no teams will be eliminated in an extremely equal competition.
The Professional League Cup approaches the definition of the regular phase. And unlike the two previous editions, held in the first half of 2021 and 2022, the definition of this competition also clashes with two other battles: qualification for next year’s International Cups and, for the first time, with a decline that determined by the annual table, and beyond what has already been resolved by averages.
TABLES, MATCH AND RESULTS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE LPF CUP 2023
For this reason, all teams have at least one objective, in addition to the main objective of this competition: to finish among the best four from one of the zones and advance to the play-offs that will define the champion of the title that Colón and Boca won before.
It should be remembered that the tournament regulations state that: After the 14 dates, the teams from each zone will meet in a 1st vs. 4th and 2nd vs. 3rd formatwith home advantage for the best seed, while the semi-finals and final are played on a neutral field.
WHAT THE QUARTER-FINAL WOULD BE LIKE WITH THE CURRENT STANDINGS
After nine dates, these would be the crossings:
- Independiente (1st zone A) vs Platense (4th zone B)
- Godoy Cruz (2nd Zone B) vs. Instituto (3rd Zone A)
- Belgrano (1st zone B) vs. Colón (4th zone A)
- River (2nd Zone A) vs. Newell’s (3rd Zone B)
