Racing Club to record potentially vital win over Colon Santa Fe

Racing Club to record potentially vital win over Colon Santa Fe

On Monday night, Racing Club host Colon Santa Fe in a potentially vital Superliga game for the home side who are looking to claim a Copa Libertadores spot.

Racing Club are currently sixth-place in the table in the Argentinian Primera Division. The home side are in the Copa Sudamericana spots, but depending on the other results this weekend could still clinch a Copa Libertadores place.

Racing currently trail fourth-place Huracan by two points, while fifth-place Independiente are a point ahead of the home side in the table.

Eduardo Coudet’s side heads into this game on the back of a three-game winning run in the Argentinian top-flight. Last time out they defeated Arsenal 2-0, which means the home side have now scored at least two goals in their last three league outings.

Racing have a strong recent home record in the Primera Division, as they have lost just two of their last 20 outings in the Argentinian top-flight. The home side has also scored at least two goals in six of their last seven home league games.

Colon heads into this game knowing that their Copa Sudamericana hopes are in the hands of others. The visitors are 13th place in the Argentinian top-flight table, two points behind Argentinos Juniors who occupy the last Copa Sudamericana spot.

The visitors will have to win this game and hope results go their way elsewhere for continental football next season. A three-game league run without a win, consisting of two defeats and a draw has not helped their hopes of continent football next season.

A lack of goals was the problem in three of those recent winless games, as the visitors failed to score in all three games.

Forebet predicts that Racing will record a victory in a low-scoring game, although it may not be enough for a place in next seasons Copa Libertadores.
