Independiente vs Racing Club Match Preview
Much was lost last week against Velez for the Rojos, as not only were they denied from the top, but their streak was broken and now they will have to play the Derby bent on their knees. Walter Busse will return to the starting eleven, coupled with Dario Gandin and Nestor Silvera to conform Diablo's offensive trident. After many disappoing tournaments, Tolo Gallego has now a solid shot at the top, and he must not waste this opportunity to climb over the decaying corpse of their eternal rivals.
It's been five years since La Academia could lastly obtain a victory against Independiente, and playing away their chances dim even more. The heavy reinforcements the team received during the summer have not yet proven worthy, having lost three of the five matched played. Miguel Angel Russo will start the match with the same eleven players that allowed them to defeat San Lorenzo two weeks ago. Team's captain Claudio Yacob highlighted their opponent's teamplay, "They have intelligent and functional players" he said, but he also recognized that everything can change in a week in football, and they are in real need of the three points not to suffer in the relegation for the whole semester.
