Torito de Mataderos will pursue another winless run end, while the Tricolor looks to regroup and climb away from the lower part of the table.
New Chicago and Almagro clash this Friday in the Mataderos district of Buenos Aires, a match from date 25 of the 2023 First National season.
Verdinegro arrives in high spirits after seven consecutive matches without defeat since a 1-0 loss to Deportivo Morón on matchday 16. Last weekend they claimed a 0-2 victory at San Telmo, placing them eighth in the standings with 33 points, six behind the leaders Agropecuario.
The Tricolor has just settled for a goalless draw at home, leaving it to chase a breather away from the relegation zone. It sits in fifteenth place in Group A, with 25 fixtures played and three points from safety. The teams last faced each other on March 12, after a 0-0 draw on February 3. Among the last five outings, the visitors have won three times.
It is important to note that the championship is split into two groups, one with 18 teams and another with 19, with home and away rounds between all clubs. The top teams in each group will meet in a final to determine promotion, while the losing side will face the reduction battle along with the teams finishing between second and eighth. The bottom teams risk relegation, and the penultimate club in each group will take part in a repechage to avoid dropping a division.
