The surprising Colón will host Talleres this Saturday in a match corresponding to the quarterfinals of the Professional Soccer League Cup.
The duel at the Brigadier General Estanislao López stadium will begin at 9:00 p.m., it will be directed by Hernán Mastrángelo and in case of ending tied in the 90 minutes, it will be resolved with shots from the penalty spot.
They will broadcast Fox Sports Premium and TNT Sports.
The Santa Fe team led by Eduardo Domínguez was a leader in their area from the first to the last date, with 65 percent efficiency and an overwhelming start in which they won the first five games with just one goal against, and relegated to favorites like River, Racing and San Lorenzo.
Although in the final stretch of the first phase the level of the team declined and of the last six matches they only won one (against Arsenal), tied three and lost two (against River and Racing),
Sabalero
starts as a lightweight favorite.
For this meeting, Eduardo Domínguez will make four modifications regarding the line-up that last Sunday equaled 0 to 0 with Unión.
In the middle, Facundo Mura, Gonzalo Piovi and Federico Lértora will enter for Eric Meza, Gonzalo Escobar and the Colombian Yeiler Goez.
And in the attack, the Colombian Wilson Morelo will be the companion of Luis Miguel Rodríguez and will relegate Facundo Farías to the bank.

For its part, Talleres had to wait until the last date to ensure its classification to the decisive instance, not without some suffering.
The team led by the Uruguayan Alexander Medina achieved 20 points and was fourth with an irregular campaign with a weak start, in which he obtained only five units out of 15 possible.
Last weekend, the Cordovan cast (which is also participating in the Copa Sudamericana) fell as a visitor to Lanús, but was benefited because Unión could not just defeat Colón, his rival tonight.
Due to the intense activity that his team has been having in recent weeks, Medina will wait until the last minute to confirm the 11 players who will take the field in Santa Fe. In principle, it is unlikely that he will be able to count on the Colombian Diego Valoyes and also Mauro Ortiz and Federico Navarro dragged annoyances.
The winner of this match will play one of the semifinals next weekend in San Juan against the winner of the match between Estudiantes and Independiente.
