El Lobo will push to confirm its spot in the race toward the reduced qualifying zone, just one point behind Celeste as the chase tightens.
Coach Víctor Antonio Legrotaglie will guide the squad at Mendoza Gymnastics And Students from Rio Cuarto as they prepare to clash this Monday evening at 8:45 PM in what shapes up to be a pivotal duel on Group A’s thirtieth matchday of the 2023 First National season.
HOW THEY REACH THE GOAL
Following a loss to Defensores de Belgrano on the road, El Lobo halted a small streak of two matches without defeat, collecting a win and a draw. Nicolás Benegas and Joaquín Sastre featured prominently, though Alejandro Gutiérrez’s red card at 78 minutes affected the balance of the encounter. Currently in tenth place with 39 points, the team is aiming for a rapid rebound to secure a place in the reduced qualifying zone as the competition moves into its final phase.
Celeste, meanwhile, left Antonio Candini with a 1-1 result. Iván Delfino’s side took the lead through Luis Silba (2 minutes), but Nicolás Ortiz equalized in the second half to preserve León’s ninth-place position, one point clear of their scheduled opponent.
In their most recent meeting, on matchday 11, the game ended level at 1-1 in Córdoba. Carlos Rosales opened the scoring for the home side at 53 minutes, while Nicolás Di Marco rescued a point for the visitors with a strike at 56 minutes.
It is important to note that the championship is split into two zones: one with 18 teams and another with 19. All teams play in a double round-robin format. The top two teams from each zone will face off in a final to decide the first promotion to higher competition. The loser of that final moves into the reduced zone along with clubs finishing from second to eighth in the penalties section, while the teams with the fewest points automatically drop out of the division. The penultimate team in each group competes in a repechage to avoid relegation.
