Racing Club is preparing for a crucial match against Sarmiento de Junín at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, corresponding to the tenth matchday of the Clausura Tournament. The match is scheduled for 21:15 and will be officiated by Leandro Rey Hilfer.
Racing, led by Juan Pablo Vojvoda, is going through one of its toughest phases of the season. So far, the team has accumulated only 5 points in nine matches, with two draws and six losses. Their last defeat was 2-1 against Huracán, which has led to questioning Vojvoda’s continuity in the role. Additionally, the club is facing injury issues, as Juan Barinaga will be out for three weeks due to a muscle tear, while Matías Pérez is suffering from an ankle sprain. The situation becomes more complicated with the doubt surrounding Ezequiel Cannavo, who is dealing with muscle fatigue and will be evaluated until the last moment.
On the other hand, Sarmiento de Junín arrives at the match in good spirits, accumulating 16 points and positioning themselves as runners-up to Argentinos Juniors. However, the team could not take advantage of the opportunity to lead by drawing 1-1 against Belgrano de Córdoba in their last match, with a goal from Lucas Passerini in stoppage time. Sarmiento, with five victories, one draw, and three losses, has the second-best offensive record in Zone B, making them a team to watch out for.
The possible lineups for the match are as follows: Racing could line up with Facundo Cambeses; Ezequiel Cannavo, Mateo Martínez, Marcos Rojo, Ignacio Rodríguez; Matías Kranevitter, Ulises Ortegoza, Gastón Lodico, Matko Miljevic; Tomás Conechny and Adrián Martínez. Meanwhile, Sarmiento could present Thyago Ayala; Santiago Salle, Renzo Orihuela, Juan Manuel Insaurralde, Lucas Suárez; Julián Contrera, Mauricio Martínez, Cristian Zabala, Julián Mavilla; Jonathan Herrera and Junior Marabel. The stadium for the match will be Estadio Juan Domingo Perón, where an intense battle for points is expected.
The result of this match will be crucial not only for Racing, which is fighting to climb out of the bottom of the table, but also for Sarmiento, which is looking to stay near the top of the standings.
