Santo will push to gain ground at the expense of Celeste in the race for a spot in the Reduced, as only a single point separates them in the standings.
San Martin de Tucuman and Defenders United will headline the curtain call of the twenty-ninth round in Group A of the 2023 First National, a clash set for this Wednesday at The Citadel.
How do they arrive? Santo arrives after a defeat to Guillermo Brown and has strung together three straight wins without a triumph to show for it. In the prior matchdays, they could only settle for draws with Almagro and Agropecuario. As a result, the team captained by Pablo Frontini sits mid-table with 39 points, pressing for a victory to stay in the running for a Reduced berth.
Meanwhile, CADU endured a winless note at Gigante de Villa Fox against Nueva Chicago, finishing three consecutive games without a win. With that in mind, they will attempt to replicate the first leg result when they edged a 1-0 victory thanks to a strike from Javier Velázquez, hoping to reclaim ground in the competition.
It is important to note that the championship is split into two sections, one with 18 teams and the other with 19, and every team plays a home-and-away round. The top two clubs in the upper section will meet in a final to decide the first promotion; the loser faces the Reduced, while the teams finishing 2nd to 8th in the lower portion also contend with relegation pressure. The penultimate team in each group takes part in a repechage to avoid relegation.
