The Professional Soccer League Cup is red hot. Only one meeting remains for the eighth date to come to an end and in both areas the classification to the quarterfinals is on fire.
How could it be otherwise, this Monday Banfield and Estudiantes de La Plata will animate a compelling match in Zone 1. And this is because the Drill is one of the four teams that with 12 units fight to be the escort of the leader Colón (20), while the Pincha adds just one less (11) and also does not want to miss the opportunity to enter the classification zone.
The Group A is the most even. Taking out Arsenal, last with two units, and the pointer, who was cut, the others 11 teams are separated by four points. What was said, Colon remains at the top with 20, followed by River, Banfield and Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero, all with 12. So far, the four are qualifying for the quarterfinals.
Then comes Racing with 12, who missed a great opportunity against Godoy Cruz who thrashed him in the last game on Sunday by 4 to 2. Estudiantes de La Plata (11, with one game less), San Lorenzo (11), Godoy Cruz (11), Argentinos (10), Rosario Central (9), Aldosivi (8), Platense (8) and Arsenal (2) complete the area.
For him Group B, Velez he thrashed Union and established himself at the top with 19 points. Lanús it follows with 16, Boca and Independent, both with 13. These four casts they would be advancing to the next round of the quarterfinals.
But as with the other area, there are other casts that are very close. Talleres (12), Defense and Justice (11), Unión (11), Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata (10), Huracán (9), Atlético Tucumán (9) seem to have more chances. The group is completed by Sarmiento (7), Newell’s (4) and Patronato (3).
The ninth date will have very good encounters. Of course, all eyes will be on him classic from Avellaneda what will they dispute Racing and Independent. But it will not be the only one, since Defense and Justice-Workshops, Argentinos-Central Córdoba, Unión-Boca and River-Colón many things will be at stake.
