Player to watch: Juan Ignacio Nardoni

We have Juan Ignacio Nardoni down as the player to watch in our professional Racing Club vs Fortaleza prediction, as few can argue that he is the best player on the team. Priced at a whopping €7.0m, it’s undoubtedly interesting to see if Nardoni will be able to live up to the expectations this season.

Defensive genius Nardoni eager for more action

Nardoni was substituted in the second half of the game against Colo-Colo. However, he is still a valuable player for his manager, and we are sure that he will also get a chance in the Copa Libertadores match against Fortaleza.
