Overview
- The championship match kicks off Saturday at 21:00 at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero.
- Racing coach Gustavo Costas is expected to drop the five-man back line used previously, with Facundo Mura likely preferred over Gastón Martirena at right back and Facundo Cambeses in goal.
- Santiago Sosa is set to return from suspension to anchor Racing’s midfield with Juan Nardoni and Agustín Almendra, while the attack features Santiago Solari, Adrián “Maravilla” Martínez and Duván Vergara.
- Estudiantes anticipates reinstating Guido Carrillo after a four-match ban to join Tiago Palacios and Edwuin Cetré up front, behind a base of Fernando Muslera, Román Gómez, Santiago Núñez, Leandro González Pírez, Santiago Arzamendia, Santiago Ascacíbar, Cristian Medina and Ezequiel Piovi.
- Racing reached the final after knocking out River, Tigre on penalties and Boca at La Bombonera, while Estudiantes enters with three straight wins over Racing in the Costas era.
