Overview
- Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 21:30 at the Monumental José Fierro, with relegation pressure defining both teams’ priorities.
- Hugo Colace is poised to overhaul Atlético’s XI, bringing in Miguel Brizuela for the suspended Ignacio Galván and Gianluca Ferrari for Clever Ferreira, with Damián Martínez keeping his place while Maximiliano Villa recovers.
- Captain Guillermo Acosta is expected to start for Atlético in place of the suspended Kevin Ortiz, Renzo Tesuri is set for a return on the right, Nicolás Laméndola comes back from suspension, and Leandro Díaz remains a doubt up front with Ramiro Ruiz Rodríguez and Mateo Bajamich as alternatives.
- Omar Asad has prepared a more attacking 4-3-3 for Godoy Cruz, planning to restore Indio Fernández and Pol Fernández alongside Vicente Poggi and to deploy Facundo Altamira and Santino Andino wide with Agustín Auzmendi as the central striker.
- Godoy Cruz arrive in the drop zone after one win in the Clausura and only nine goals in 14 matches, and they close the year at home on November 16 against Deportivo Riestra seeking a first victory at the renovated Feliciano Gambarte.
