Belgrano Set to Kick off 2025 Season with Erviti at the Helm

Erviti, who was appointed in December to replace Juan Cruz Real, is expected to field a 4-1-3-2 formation, with several key players returning from injury. The lineup is highly likely to resemble the one that secured a 3-1 victory against Montevideo Wanderers in the Río de la Plata League on January 16th.Fans can anticipate seeing Juan Espinola in goal, protected by a backline of Gabriel Compagnucci, Aníbal Leguizamón, Nicolás Meriano, and Juan Velázquez. Facundo Quignon will anchor the midfield,while Lucas Menossi,Lucas Zelarayán,and Francisco González Metilli are expected to provide attacking support. Up front,Franco Jara and Bryan Reyna will spearhead the attack.
This match will be the first of a challenging series for Belgrano, who will face Racing Club in Avellaneda on January 30th.
While the club has secured four new reinforcements, only Zelarayán is expected to start against Huracán. Fausto Grillo, Elías López, and Julián Mavilla will likely be introduced to the team later in the season.
the club’s pursuit of a new central defender and midfielder continues, following the breakdown of negotiations with Juan Orellana from san Martín de Tucumán.
