El Guapo faces Pincha de Caseros in the opening match of the most federal tournament to date. This encounter marks the 32nd edition of the Argentina Cup 2023, with central barracks and Homemade students meeting at Vicente Lopez Stadium, the home of Platense, on Wednesday evening.
The Good looking squad will have to clear a significant hurdle. The team has earned a reputation as a giant killer this season, knocking out River Plate, Vélez Sarsfield, Colón de Santa Fe, and Defensa y Justicia, among others, and now aims to continue that run against a formidable opponent.
Central Barracas recently parted ways with coach Rodolfo De Paoli, bringing in Sergio Rondina. The change appears to have rejuvenated the squad, who had just secured a 3-0 victory over Instituto in the Binance 2023 tournament. That result snapped a three-match winless streak and gave the club a much-needed boost in the league table, lifting them off the bottom of the standings and improving its position on the averages chart.
Homemade, on the other hand, have endured a rough patch in the First National. They have gone nine matches without a win and currently sit near the lower end of Group B. The most recent success came in a 2-1 victory on the road against Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza, a performance they will look to build on in the cup match.
