Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Colón & Cipolletti face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Argentina. All the pre-match information is available here!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Superliga match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Talleres Cordoba, was also a home game here at Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella. The away team is better rested.
These teams have little in common geographically as Cipolletti have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
