Both clubs sit in the lower end of Group B and are aiming for a crucial win to create distance from the relegation zone.
The meeting at the avenue giant venue places emphasis on a showdown between the side hoping to advance to the podium and the challenger who will face them this Sunday starting at 4pm, as the twenty-third round of Group B in the First National 2023 unfolds.
How do they arrive here? The Albinegro slipped to defeat against Chacarita, who controlled the match at Villa Maipú with a goal from Luciano Gimenez. That result halted a brief run of two victories in a row and leaves Diego Osella’s squad still mired in the lower half to date. With 19 points, they sit in the relegation-threatened zone, while Lechero lags two points behind.
On the other side, the team guided by Gabriel Di Noia has seen Juan Alberto Garcia step in after a heavy loss to Independiente Rivadavia. That setback underscored the instability around the Tambero side, which remains without a win in eleven matches.
The most recent clash between these two sides happened on March 18 in Ezeiza and finished with a 2-1 comeback, secured by Gonzalo Bergessio in extra time.
It is important to note that the championship is split into two groups, one with 18 teams and the other with 19, and each team plays a home-and-away series. The top two clubs will meet in a final to determine the first promotion, while the loser drops into the Reduced along with teams finishing between second and eighth. The teams with the fewest points drop automatically from the division, and the penultimate club in each group contests a repechage to avoid relegation.
