Sarmiento – San Lorenzo

Sarmiento secured their first victory in 2023 last time out, when they beat Colon 2-0 away from home thanks to goals from Javier Toledo and Luciano Gondou. Following that victory, Israel Damonte made it four points in three rounds in the Liga Profesional and also put an end to a eight-match winless streak in league action (five draws and three defeats). El Verde also climbed out of the relegation zone as they leapfrogged Platense by one point in the points average table. On a sorry note, Sarmiento managed a single point from the last 12 available at their own stadium.

San Lorenzo recovered from their slump and claimed a massive 1-0 home success over Godoy Cruz (who were leaders before the game) thanks to a penalty netted by Adam Bareiro in the second half. Therefore, El Ciclon made it six points from nine on offer in 2023 league season and also accumulated their seventh victory across the last nine Liga Profesional matches, drawing one and losing one. San Lorenzo lost to Lanus 2-1 in their last away game, which broke a three-game unbeaten streak of two wins and one draw on the road. Captain Federico Gattoni is ready to return after solving his contractual problem.

There’s no doubt these are underish teams but this totals line is too tempting. Sarmiento had a 3-5 game in their only home match so far this season, San Lorenzo has scored in all 3 rounds so I definitely see at least 2 goals here.
