Ferro Carril Oeste leads Zona A with 65 points after 35 rounds while Tristán Suárez tops Zona B on 63, setting up a likely November championship final on neutral ground for the first direct promotion to the Liga Profesional. Godoy Cruz, Deportivo Morón, Deportivo Madryn and Colón remain in strong positions for the Torneo Reducido in Zona A, with Atlanta, Temperley and Gimnasia Jujuy close behind in Zona B. Recent results from late October, including Ferro’s heavy loss, Godoy Cruz’s emphatic win and Madryn’s 4-1 victory, have tightened the race with one or two regular-season matches left. The second promotion will be decided through the Reducido knockout involving second- to eighth-placed sides plus the final loser, rewarding current form, goal difference and playoff experience among the contenders. Descent pressure at the bottom has little direct bearing on promotion probabilities.
