After a dubious start, Fernando Gago's cycle at the helm of Racing Club is going through an unbeatable present on all fronts and this afternoon will have a key match for his future in the Copa Sudamericana. For the second date of Group B it will receive Cuiabá from Brazil, the other leader of the area. From 19.15, at the Presidente Perón stadium. The referee will be Paraguayan Mario Albero Díaz de Vivar and will be televised by ESPN.

With this new format, errors are paid dearly, since only the first of each zone advances in the round. Both Argentines and Brazilians began their paths with victories and are shaping up to be the main contenders to win first place. The Academy won 1-0 against Uruguay's River Plate in Montevideo, while the visit surpassed Melgar from Peru 2-0.

Avellaneda's team reach this commitment with encouragement through the roof, being the leading and only undefeated Argentine football in the Professional League Cup and advancing to the 16th finals of the Argentine Cup after eliminating Gimnasia and Tiro de Salta. He is currently on a streak of seven wins in a row, being only two away from the shocking 1967 record when the technical director was Juan José Pizzutti.

Regarding the 11th that comes from beating Platense, Pintita has in mind some modifications, such as the income of Nery Domínguez and Carlos Alcaraz by Anibal Moreno and Matías Rojas in the middle zone. In addition, he has two doubts: Enzo Copetti or Javier Correa and Tomás Chancalay or Edwin Cardona.

Cuiabá Sporte Clube, founded on December 1, 2001, became the youngest club to reach the top flight of Brazilian football by rising in 2020. Last year, after finishing in 15th place, he sealed his ticket to the Copa Sudamericana helped by the titles of Palmeiras and Athletico Paranaense. He comes from beating Fortaleza 1-0 for the first day of Serie A and was the last champion of the Matogrossense tournament.

Probable formations:

Racing: Gaston Gomez; Facundo Mura, Leonardo Sigali, Emiliano Insua, Gonzalo Piovi; Leonel Miranda, Nery Dominguez, Carlos Alcaraz; Gabriel Hauche, Enzo Copetti or Javier Correa and Tomás Chancalay or Edwin Cardona. DT: Fernando Gago.
