Deportivo Riestra and Barracas Central will face each other on Monday, November 24th, at 5:00 PM at the Guillermo Laza stadium for the Round of 16 of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. The match will be televised nationwide by TNT Sports. Under the guidance of Gustavo Benítez, Riestra arrives at this match after a 1-1 draw with Godoy Cruz and is on a five-match winless streak. This run contrasts with their campaign in Zone B, where they finished third and achieved unprecedented qualification for the Copa Sudamericana. Barracas Central, led by Rubén Darío Insúa, is on a three-match unbeaten streak, with one win and two consecutive draws. This match is significant as both clubs have a history of playing in lower divisions and have only faced each other twice in the top division: the aforementioned draw and a 1-0 win for Barracas Central in February 2024.
