Racing vs. Independiente clash in one of this weekend's classics, within the framework of the seventh matchday of the Argentine Professional League Cup 2023. This match will take place on Saturday, September 30th, and will be held at the Presidente Perón Stadium in Avellaneda. In the following paragraphs, we will give you all the details you need to know so you don't miss the match's broadcast: kickoff time, worldwide schedules, and broadcasting channels.
Fernando Gago's squad is one of the four clubs that have not been defeated in the local championship. In their last match, they drew 1-1 against Godoy Cruz, away from home, with a goal from Roger Martínez. Meanwhile, Carlos Tevez's team also comes from a draw (0-0) with Instituto.
The 'Academia' will have the return of three key players who have recovered from their respective injuries: Nazareno Colombo, Leonardo Sigali, and Aníbal Moreno. Unless something unexpected happens, they will be part of the starting lineup. "We know it's a classic and it's about winning. We want to win every game. I work and try to find the best. But I understand the context," said Gago.
Independiente, on the other hand, will not be able to count on the experienced Mauricio Isla, so 'Apache' will again opt for a five-man defense. "I think there will be nicer classics later on because this one doesn't define anything. And our goal is to compete with Racing in a semifinal or something similar," said the former footballer.
It should be noted that the last time both teams faced each other was in April of this year. On that occasion, the match ended 1-1, with goals from Martin Cauteruccio for 'Rojo', while Matías Rojas, from the penalty spot, equalized for the 'Academia'.
