Racing visits Atlético Tucumán in search of a win that will keep him close to the top of Zone A, in a match valid for the sixth round of the Professional League Cup (LPF). The match is played from 19.15 at the Monumental José Fierro stadium, it has the referee of Germán Delfino and the transmission will be in charge of the cable signal TNT Sports.
Avellaneda's team comes from beating Talleres de Córdoba 1-0 in the Cilindro and is in sixth position with nine points, four of the leaders River and Union.
Coach Fernando Gago cannot count on Colombian Edwin Cardona (tear in the right femoral bicep) so his place is taken by Tomás Chancalay, who replaced him last date. The rest of the “albiceleste” team that starts from the start against the “Dean” is the same one that beat the “T”.
The Tucuman team, for its part, is in 12th place with four points and last date they were defeated by 4-0 against Newell's as a visitor at the Marcelo Bielsa stadium. The coach Juan Manuel Azconzábal made two changes in the starting eleven: Leonardo Heredia for Ramiro Carrera in the midfield area and Cristian Menéndez for Agustín Lotti in the lead.
The record between Racing and Atlético Tucumán records 12 matches with six wins for “La Academia”, three for the “Dean” and three draws.

INDEPENDENT - CENTRAL CORDOBA
Independiente hosts Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero with the need to win after three straight draws in Zone B of the Professional League Cup, in the preview of the classic against Racing. The match will be played at the Libertadores de America-Ricardo Bochini stadium, with Fernando Rapallini as referee and broadcast of Fox Sports Premium.
After three draws in a row, the “Red” needs to return to the win to get closer to the qualifying positions and gain confidence before the seventh-date classic against the Academy.
Central Córdoba is last with 5 points and after the debut victory against Barracas Central could not win again: two draws, two defeats and more than 300 minutes unscored.
In the “Rojo” Uruguayan Sebastián Sosa will start again after three games absent due to a muscle injury and will replace his compatriot Renzo Bacchia. In defense, the DT would use the scheme that he used so many times in his last stage in Colón with a line of five formed with the entry of Joaquín Laso by Lucas Rodríguez and lowering Gastón Togni as a left-hand drive.
In Central Córdoba, coach Sergio Rondina could make two changes from the defeat to Rosario Central (1-0) at Alfredo Terrera.
Independiente and Central Córdoba record five records in the First Division with three wins for the “Rojo”, one of the santiagueños and a draw.
Probable formations

ARGENTINOS JUNIORS - DEFENSE AND JUSTICE
Argentinos Juniors, who have not won three dates in the Professional League Cup, will host Defensa y Justicia, who has three wins in a row and is one of the animators of Zone A. The sixth match will be played from 21.30 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, with Ariel Penel referee and transmission of TNT Sports.
El Bicho beat Olimpo 2-0 on Wednesday and advanced in the Copa Argentina but in Zone A he drags three unwon commitments with two draws (the last 2-2 against Gimnasia en el Bosque) and one defeat.
The counterface is that of the Falcon, as he won the last three matches with great offensive power but also with a certain defensive fragility. After the 3-2 victory against Banfield, as a visitor, Sebastián Beccacece's team rounded up a record of ten goals in favor and seven against in the last three games.
Argentinos Juniors and Defensa y Justicia met six times in the First Division with three wins for the “Falcon”, two for the “Bicho” and a draw. The last match was on October 9 last year for the Professional League in La Paternal and was a 2-0 away win with goals from Nicolás Tripichio and Walter Bou.
