The Academy needs a point to seal their passage to the next instance. From 7:15 p.m., at the Cylinder. Later, Unión will play his future against Junior in Barranquilla
Racing will try to advance to the phase against River Plate from Uruguay < p class=”paragraph”>The group stage of the Copa Sudamericana lowers its curtain and one of the candidates for the title will seek to revalidate his credentials and secure his ticket to the round of 16. This afternoon, starting at 7:15 pm, Racing Club will receive River Plate from Uruguay at the Cylinder. The referee will be Chilean Cristian Garay and will be televised by ESPN.
The Academy , with 12 units, looks down on everyone in Group B and needs at least a tie to secure first place and thus enter the top 16 of the competition (the best from each area are paired and the third in the Copa Libertadores). A step behind Melgar appears with 9, who will receive Cuiabá (6) at the same time. The Uruguayans, meanwhile, have only 3 points.
For this commitment, Fernando Gago will not be able to count on goalkeeper Gastón Gómez, who was expelled last week against the Peruvians. In addition Leonardo Sigali is not one hundred percent physically and Enzo Copetti reached the limit of yellow cards. In this way, Matías Tagliamonte will defend the three sticks, Nery Domínguez will move to the central defense together with Emiliano Insúa and Javier Correa and Edwin Cardona will be on the offensive.
The visit, meanwhile, is not going through the best moment. He was far from fighting for the title in the Uruguayan Apertura (on Sunday he fell 2-1 against the leader Liverpool) and he has no mathematical chances at the international level.
Probable formations:
Racing: Matías Tagliamonte; Facundo Mura, Nery Domínguez, Emiliano Insúa, Eugenio Mena; Leonel Miranda, Jonatan Gómez or Maico Quiroz, Carlos Alcaraz; Tomas Chancalay, Javier Correa, Edwin Cardona. DT: Fernando Gago.
River Plate of Uruguay: Salvador Ichazo; Maximiliano Pereira, José Aja, Horacio Salaberry and Santiago Brunelli; Gonzalo Nápoli, Nicolás Fonseca, Marcos Montiel and Joaquín Lavega; Nicolas Sosa and Pablo Lopez. DT: Gustavo Díaz.
Stadium: President Perón (Cilindro)

JUNIOR-UNION:
Unión must win in their visit to Barranquilla
The other Argentine team that will play for its future this season will be Unión de Santa Fe, who will have to step strong in their visit to Junior de Barranquilla to take over Group H and get their ticket to the round of 16. From 9:30 p.m., on ESPN. In the Metropolitan stadium, with arbitration by the Paraguayan Eber Aquino.
The ones led by the Uruguayan Gustavo Munúa, the only unbeaten player in his area, have 9 units and they are in the second position, just one from the leader, their rival in turn. With this scenario raised, if Tatengue achieves a victory, they will be able to get into the top 16 of the competition. At the same time, Fluminense (8) will visit Oriente Petrolero (0).
The visit will lose weight in the last row, as is the Uruguayan Diego Polenta, product from an injury to his right knee.
The Colombians, led by the Argentine Juan Cruz Real, set themselves up with the intention of reaping their first international star and have Miguel Borja in attack, who in recent days was sounded out by River Plate.
Those from Barranquilla come to this duel after equaling 1 to 1 at home against Atlético Nacional for the first date of Zone A of the Colombian tournament.
Probable formations:
Junior from Barranquilla:Sebastián Viera; Fabián Viáfara, Dany Rosero, Alfonso Simarra, Gabriel Fuentes; Daniel Giraldo, Didier Moreno; Luis González, Yesus Cabrera, Fredy Hinestroza; and Miguel Borja. DT: Juan Cruz Real.
Union: Santiago Mele; Federico Vera, Franco Calderón, Emanuel Brítez, Claudio Corvalán; Enzo Roldán or Juan Ignacio Nardoni, Juan Portillo, Kevin Zenón, Mariano Peralta Bauer; Mauro Luna Diale and Jonatan Álvez. DT: Gustavo Munúa.
