20:30 – Welcome and welcome to a new football night at Goal! Today we will live the match between Racing and Godoy Cruz, for the eighth date of Zone A of the Professional League Cup
Goal preview
Much was said during the last days of the tie between Racing and River: the Academy went to Núñez with a timid approach, but managed to take a point against an opponent who a month ago had scored five goals in a final. And not only that, but thanks to that result he managed to settle among the four best in Zone A of the Professional League Cup. But now it will be his turn to face Godoy Cruz in El Cilindro and it will not be enough just by not losing.
The complete fixture of the Professional League Cup 2021
As for football, after a month in which the coronavirus slowly but intensely placated the entire Racing team – he reached 15! infected players-, Juan Antonio Pizzi will finally be able to count on (almost) the entire squad: Lorenzo Melgarejo and Mauricio Martínez joined the training sessions alongside the group and the club reported that all swabs performed were negative. Thus, the only one who is still isolated is Héctor Fértoli. In any case, there will only be one modification with respect to the eleven that tied at the Monumental: the suspended Juan Cáceres will be replaced by the youth forward Iván Maggi, so Fabricio Domínguez will become a right back
