On the 8th of October, Platense hosts Colón at Estadio Ciudad De Vicente López in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a windy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, 13th placed Platense, recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Defensa y Justicia. Neither Platense nor Defensa y Justicia could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 15 and 8 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Platense is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Colón recorded a 4-2 win against Estudiantes. Pierotti scored the first goal for Colón in the 19th minute, then Fernando Zuqui tied it up for Estudiantes in the 32nd minute , but luckily for Colón it didn’t end there. They were able to keep scoring to earn themselves the victory. Colón looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Colón won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Colón’s most prolific scorer has been Luis Miguel Rodríguez. He has netted 2 goals over the last five matches. Jorge Benitez and Ramiro González are the top scorers for Platense in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
