As Violeta battles to climb off the bottom, the Pompeya squad known as the Malevos is craving a path into the reduced zone for Pompeya’s upcoming showdown.
Violeta and Puccini Coliseum are eyeing a spot on the podium where Villa Dalmine collides with Deportivo Riestra, a clash set for this Sunday at 3:30 pm as part of the twenty-third round in Group B of the Primera Nacional season.
What’s the route to that goal? Violeta remains mired at the foot of the table. Jorge Benítez’s squad could not snag a win in their trip to Racing de Córdoba, extending a winless streak to 11 games. They sit last, with Independiente Rivadavia at the summit. This season has yielded just four victories, the latest a 1-0 win over Estudiantes de Caseros last April.
Pompeya’s Malevos ended level with Deportivo Madryn at Guillermo Laza, missing a chance to push into the reduced positions. Walter Marchesi’s side had posted back-to-back wins before that draw.
Looking at recent history, the Blanquinegros claimed a 2-1 victory on March 20, with goals from Milton Céliz and Jorge Benítez, while Jorge Rossi answered late for the visitors.
The league format splits into two zones, one with 18 teams and another with 19, with home-and-away rounds among all participants. The top two finishers meet in a final to decide the first promotion, while the loser drops into the reduced phase along with the teams finishing second through eighth. The teams with the fewest points at season’s end face automatic relegation, and the second-to-last side in each group enters a repechage to fight for staying in the division.
