Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Excursionistas will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Liniers must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. There is interest in adding another forward player who can play in one of those wide No 10 roles behind the striker in the 3-4-2-1 formation that Sage is expected to continue with at Selhurst Park.

Whatever the outcome, the Primera B Metropolitana fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs.
