As Sojero strives to reclaim leadership, Verdinegro aims to solidify its standing in the Reduced positions.
At Ofelia Rozenzuiig Stadium, the two clubs meet on the podium as they collide this Saturday, scheduled for 3:10 p.m., in a clash that marks the twenty-sixth round of Group A in the 2023 First National season.
How did they arrive here? Sojero’s chase for the top was dampened by a 2-0 defeat on the road against All Boys, a win that helped Isidro Casanova celebrate as Almirante Brown stayed the sole leader. The loss marked the sixth consecutive away defeat for Gabriel Gómez’s squad.
Verdinegro earned a 2-0 victory over Almagro at Mataderos, with goals from Agustín Curruhinca and Ezequiel Naya. That result lifted the Lobo Montenegro squad to seventh place with 36 points, and they now chase a third straight win at Carlos Casares to cement their position in the Reduced.
The most recent head-to-head between these clubs occurred on March 18, with Agro coming out on top thanks to a solitary goal by Diego Diellos. In fact, the home side has won four of their last five meetings with the Torito de Mataderos.
It’s worth noting that the championship is divided into two zones: one with 18 teams and one with 19. Each team plays a round-trip against every other side. The top two teams will face off in a final to determine the group’s first promotion. The loser of that final will drop into the Reduced along with those placed 2nd to 8th. Meanwhile, the teams with the fewest points will automatically fall from the division. The penultimate team in each group competes in a repechage to avoid relegation.
