PREDICTION
Four defeats in the last six league games, Colon had to put the disappointment of Copa Sudamericana defeat them quickly behind them as survival is now the name of the game. El Sabalero sits just a few points above the relegation zone and need points quickly. All 13 have come at home so after Monday, shape themselves should be targeted.
Was on the verge of being fired, Gabriel Milito has an impressive turn around things and with five clean sheets, Estudiantes have dropped only two points during that time to move up to seventh. To further improve El Pincha have to be better away from home, where they have lost four of their six games.
Two previous meetings between the two sides has been attractive and repeat can not be ruled out.
