Following their success in the Chaco region and a hard-fought Argentine Cup run, the focus shifts to a major test against the league leader in Avellaneda.

The team pushed through the Cup jaunt and edged San Martín de Formosa in a battle that underscored their resilience. After the journey to Chaco, the squad returns to the Professional League, aiming to repeat a first league win by confronting the undefeated leaders who arrive with a flawless record. (Goal)

Racing travels to Avellaneda after a four-game winning streak, hoping to celebrate Cilindro history with a victory in front of their home supporters. The match is slated for Monday at 19:15 local time. (Goal)

IT’S CALLED RACING

Back from Chaco, the squad engaged in regenerative work to recover. Manager Fernando Gago held two players, Ivan Pillud and Maxi Romero, out of the main rotation to manage fatigue, while the rest trained normally and should be available for selection. With no fresh injuries or suspensions reported, the squad list is expected to be near full strength. (Goal)

In essence, the plan is to field nearly the entire roster and maintain flexibility to adapt to the tactical demands of the opponent. (Goal)

THE RACING TRAINING

As has become routine since taking charge, Gago kept the team’s plans under wraps in the lead-up to the Formosa match, resulting in some surprising rotations in defense and attack. The frontline duo of Reniero and Cardona showed moments of rust, prompting the return of Carbonero, Matías Rojas, and Maxi Romero, who will contest the striking role against Paolo Guerrero, who is easing back into action. The wings Piovi and Sigali provide width, while the right-back position remains open after Opazo’s cup appearance, with Mura performing well against Arsenal and Pillud delivering consistently. (Goal)
