Argentinos Jrs vs San Lorenzo
Thanks to a penalty netted by Miguel Torren in the 11th minute of stoppage time, Argentinos Juniors secured a valuable point on their visit to Banfield, drawing 1-1 last Monday. El Bicho extended their unbeaten streak to six league games (four victories and two draws), but they are no longer leaders in the Liga Profesional (with 20 points, Gabriel Milito’s men are now trailing table toppers Atletico Tucuman by two). They do remain occupying second spot in the aggregate rankings, currently qualifying for the 2023 Copa Libertadores. At home, Argentinos are on nine domestic matches without defeat, having won seven and drawn two in that spell.
Nahuel Barrios’ strike in the 90th minute allowed San Lorenzo to avoid the defeat last Monday against Talleres. The 1-1 home draw means the team continue performing an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, having accumulated 13 points after registering seven stalemates in ten matches (along with two victories and only one loss). On a positive note, El Ciclon are on four league games unbeaten, winning one and drawing three.
San Lorenzo has scored and conceded in their last 6 games and I expect this trend to continue and see an open game here.
