Racing Club is preparing to host Independiente Petrolero at the Estadio Presidente Peron, in what will be their final group stage match of the Copa Sudamericana. La Academia, which is currently without a coach after the departure of Gustavo Costas, is seeking a win to close out their campaign on a high note. In their last match, Racing Club drew 2-2 with Caracas, in a game that allowed them to keep their hopes of qualification alive, although they ultimately failed to obtain the necessary points. Now, with the presence of their assistant coaches on the bench, the team is seeking to obtain the three points against a rival that is also in a complicated situation. Independiente Petrolero, led by Thaigo Leitao, has lost all of its matches in the group stage and is seeking to obtain its first point in the tournament. In their last match, the Bolivian team was defeated 3-0 by Botafogo, which leaves them without options to advance to the next round. Racing Club, on the other hand, is without several of its starting players, including midfielder Alan Forneris, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury. In his place, the team could line up with Bruno Zuculini alongside Matias Zaracho and Matko Miljevic in the center of the field. La Academia is also without right-back Ezequiel Cannavo, who is recovering from a muscle injury, and right-winger Valentin Carboni, who is still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury. Despite these absences, the team is seeking to obtain the win and close out its campaign in the Copa Sudamericana on a positive note. The presence of Gaston Martirena in the team is an important factor, as the player can bring speed and skill to the attack. With the win, Racing Club is seeking to demonstrate that it is still a competitive team, despite the difficulties it has faced in the season. The match against Independiente Petrolero is an opportunity for La Academia to show its grit and determination, and obtain the three points they need to close out their campaign in the Copa Sudamericana.
