Overview

• Deportivo Maipú arrives eighth on 45 points and secures a Reducido place with a win at Atlanta; a draw suffices only if Colegiales does not win.
• Relegation will be settled in parallel as Alvarado must beat already demoted Arsenal and hope Almagro loses to Güemes, while Almagro guarantees safety with a victory.
• Tigre and Defensa y Justicia drew 1-1 in the Clausura opener, with a clear penalty shout for Defensa not awarded by referee Ariel Penel and not sent to VAR review.
• Aldosivi snapped a 643-minute goal drought with a 2-0 win at Unión for its first Clausura victory, tightening Zone A and lifting the club off the bottom of the annual table.
• Instituto visits San Martín (SJ) after forward Facundo Suárez suffered a re-injury of knee ligaments in training, and in Peru Universitario lists Álex Valera as doubtful for Sunday and a potential national-team call-up.
