Betting on Colón
It is thanks to the 1-1 draw in the Santa Fe derby against Unión that Colón is no longer in last place. They only have that one unit, obtained last week, and share the bottom of the standings with Arsenal de Sarandí and Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero.
Although they did not lose the derby, the performance of the last time made the board of directors take the decision to dismiss Marcelo Saralegui, officially former Sabalero coach, who formally said goodbye to the club in a press conference and analyzed the situation:
“The draw condemned me, it did not convince me, and by mutual agreement I stopped being Colón’s coach. In the last squad there was more hierarchy, it was an intense preseason. We did not have the players at the start, since some of them were injured. We lost defensive consistency.
From now on, the Colón bench will be occupied by none other than Gorosito, an experienced coach who closed his contract with the Santa Fe team in the last few hours.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Ignacio Chicco; Augusto Schott, Facundo Garcés, Paolo Goltz, Rafael Delgado; Baldomero Perlaza, Julián Chicco; Santiago Pierotti, Carlos Arrua, Tomás Galván; Ramón Ábila.
Betting on Huracan
The team from Parque de los Patricios is one of the tournament’s leaders after these first four dates, as it is in second place behind Lanús, with 10 points out of a possible 12. Last weekend they overcame a difficult opponent as Barracas Central: 2-0 with goals scored by Gabriel Gudiño and Juan Gauto.
The visit to Colón is somewhat uncomfortable for Huracán’s schedule, given that during the week they played the first leg of the first leg of the Copa Libertadores Phase 2 in Uruguay against Boston River, against whom they earned a valuable draw (0-0). The second leg will take place next Wednesday at the Ducó stadium, so coach Diego Davobe is expected to alternate starters and substitutes for the match in Santa Fe.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Lucas Chaves; Guillermo Soto, Fernando Tobio, Gastón Sauro, Guillermo Benítez; Gabriel Gudiño, Santiago Hezze, Federico Fattori, Jonás Acevedo; Juan Gauto, Matías Cóccaro.
JefeBet Prediction
In their history, Colón and Huracán faced each other 59 times, of which the Sabalero won 25 and the Globo 19. There is a soccer saying that the coach who makes his debut wins the match, and everything is set for that to be the case on Sunday. The fact is that a change of air always helps, and they are facing a Huracán that seems to be focused on qualifying for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that the three points will stay in the Elephant Cemetery.
Prediction: Colon wins 2-1.
