The fight for relegation in the League Cup
The start of matchday 10 has once again made the fight for permanence red-hot after Arsenal de Sarandí’s consummated relegation through the averages. The defeats of Vélez and Sarmiento left both in a risky situation with five games remaining, counting the one that has already started. Huracán achieved a great victory against Argentinos in La Paternal and, in the high part of the fight, Racing beat Boca on the hour and left them with almost no chance of the playoffs.
There are, in total, 12 teams separated by just 8 points when a maximum of 15 units remain in dispute. Colón, currently last, has 39 units and today would be losing the category, although with a game pending everything can change. Tigre must also play, following with 40, while Huracán, Sarmiento and Vélez have 41. Unión has 42; Central Córdoba (43), although he still has to play. Higher up are Gimnasia (44), Barracas Central (45), Banfield (45), Independiente (46) and Instituto (47).
After what happened with Liniers and Junín, the other fundamental matches in the lower zone were those between Barracas Central 1-2 Gimnasia de La Plata, Unión 0-0 Defensa y Justicia and Argentinos Juniors 1-2 Huracán; while this Wednesday Arsenal-Colón will play (4 p.m.) and Lanús-Tigre on Thursday (21 p.m.). If Sabalero triumphs and Matador draws, there will be four teams with 41 and in a direct relegation position. They should play a home run tiebreaker to know the team that will be relegated.
At the same time, the bid to enter the Cups is also very interesting with Racing (52), Lanús (49) and Newell’s (49) just outside the Sudamericana zone, but putting pressure on Argentinos Juniors (52) which is the last one that is in the classification zone. Meanwhile, San Lorenzo (55) dreams of getting into the Libertadores quotas that today have Godoy Cruz (56), Defensa y Justicia (57) and Talleres (62) as the last classified, behind River Plate (78) who already He got the ticket for being champion.
