Ezequiel Schelotto will be absent until the New Year with his long term injury following his return to his home country. Other than that, Racing have a fresh squad to choose from, albeit they continue to miss a spark in the attacking area. Renzo Paparelli remains a long-term absentee for league leaders Talleres following an operation. There are various options from the bench that have impressed in the past two games, but having them fresh for the final 30 makes sense for this tight affair.
The two longest unbeaten runs in Liga Profesional face off at Estadio Presidente Perón with Racing Club unbeaten in six and Talleres eight respectively. Despite the positive outlook of being unbeaten, Racing have been putting in some dreary performance with four consecutive draws - three of which were 0-0. Talleres on the other hand are firing in front of goal, managing to squeeze out victories in tight affairs much like their 2-1 victory over Platense last time out. While the general attacking players are taking plaudits, left wing-back Enzo Diaz has been the standout performer for the visitors with a 7.74 WhoScored average rating, the highest in the division. 0:1
