In the midst of a very poor start to the Clausura Tournament, Independiente is looking to change its stride with the Argentine Cup, in which it faces Belgrano this Friday at the Gigante de Arroyito.
The team of Julio Vaccari, which suffered some significant losses in the recent transfer market, has not been able to assert itself in the second half of the year, and needs to find its best form for what's to come. In addition to the Argentine Cup and the Clausura (where it has two losses and a draw), it will face Universidad de Chile in mid-August in the round of 16 of the South American Cup.
Looking for solutions, the coach makes some changes against Belgrano.
The Independiente lineup against Belgrano
The coach makes two changes from the team that played in La Plata against Gimnasia: Federico Vera goes as right back instead of Leonardo Godoy, while Rodrigo Fernández Cedrés comes into the midfield for Iván Marcone.
In this way, Rojo lines up with Rey; Vera, Lomónaco, Freire and Zabala; Loyola, Fernández Cedres and Cabral; Mazzantti, Ávalos and Montiel.

Belgrano lines up with: Cardozo; Compagnucci, Morales, López, Troilo, Ricca; Longo, Saravia, Mavilla; Zelarayán and Jara.
