Buenos Aires, 16 Sept. (EFE) .- With the two greats of Argentine football bucking the trend – Boca Juniors entering the fight for the title and River Plate chaining two consecutive defeats -, the local championship begins its twentieth day listening to the Howlings of the ‘Lupo ‘.
Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata, the team led by the former Argentine international Néstor Gorosito, begins the day that will take place between Saturday and Tuesday as the only leader, with 36 points.
The citizens of La Plata, who aspire to their first local title in 135 years of history, will close the date, next Tuesday, by visiting the center of Córdoba, which occupies the twenty-second place, with 21 points.
In the wake of ‘Lobo’ are Atlético Tucumán and Boca Juniors, who are just one point behind the leader.
The “xeneizes” have amassed a streak of five straight wins, including Superclásico against River Plate, since August 17, when they drew at home to Rosario Central, which left Hugo Ibarra’s men in unbeatable conditions to fight for the title.
This week she receives a dangerous Huracán, which follows her in the standings, with 34 units.
Marcelo Gallardo’s side will instead try to reverse the losing streak that began with the defeat against their main rival and increased on matchday nineteenth, when they lost at home to Banfield.
For this the ‘millionaires’, who occupy the eighth position, with 29 points, must add in their visit to the San Lorenzo, which has only two units fewer and could further complicate their situation.
