The ball does not stop. On Sunday ended the eighth date of the championship of the Professional League and this Tuesday starts the ninth with five games of diverse interest. In order of appearance, at 16:30, they will play Platense-Cordoba Central in Vicente López (ESPN Premium) and Colon-Aldosivi in Santa Fe (TNT Sports), at 19, Racing will host Arsenal in Avellaneda (TNT Sports) and Atletico Tucuman to Sarmiento de Junin in San Miguel de Tucumán (Public TV and ESPN) and at 21:30 they will close in La Paternal, Argentines and Boca (ESPN Premium).
Argentines vs. Mouth
Though Argentinos (16 points) is one of the four unexpected leaders of the championship and one of the teams with the most even performance so far this year (it is second in the annual table with 41 units, four behind Racing), again all eyes will be on Boca (12), who did not play well again, but found some fresh air in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Talleres de Córdoba at La Bombonera.
Hugo Ibarrathe interim coach from Boca was not satisfied with the performance of his team and for that reason, will make four changes: Darío Benedetto and Alan Varela will leave (injured) and Oscar Romero and Juan Ramírez due to low performance and they will be replaced by Luis Vazquez, Jorman Campuzano, Exequiel Zeballos and Nicolas Orsini.
Atletico Tucuman vs. Sarmiento
Two hours before the crash in La Paternal, Atlético Tucumán, another of the unexpected leaders of the tournament (16), will receive Sarmiento (11) who is fighting in the annual table to enter the 2023 South American Cup. So much so that, with 32 points, he equals the last cup position with Godoy Cruz.
Since he arrived at the technical direction, Lucas Pusineri did wonders with Atlético and, with little, he turned it into a reliable and effective team that won its last three games in a row and that will give another brave test against the Juninenses.
Racing vs. Arsenal
At the same time, Racing (14) is betting that a home win against Arsenal (11) will bring it closer to the top of the table. Gago will make several changes: Jonathan Galván will debut in place of Sigali (injured) and the Chilean Mena will go for Gonzalo Piovi, Carlos Alcaraz for Jonathan Gómez and the Colombian Johan Carbonero instead of Tomás Chancalay.
The Academy will not have it easy: Arsenal de Madelón has been undefeated for seven dates (five draws).
Platense-Central Córdoba and Colón-Aldosivi
And in the first round matches, Platense (14) will seek to get close to the top and add vital points for the average against Central Córdoba de Santiago (8) who is also fighting for permanence and Colón (9) will go for his first win under the leadership of Sergio Rondina against Aldosivi (4), that with a single victory and six defeats in the first eight dates, for the moment he is losing the category.
