Banfield vs San Lorenzo
Banfield were unlucky to suffer a heartbreaking 3-2 away defeat at Talleres last Monday and couldn’t clinch their ticket to the final. However, the team remain as group B leaders on nine points (one above their last opponents) and will end up at the top of this table in the event of beating San Lorenzo at home. That defeat also stopped their five-game unbeaten run of three victories and two draws.
San Lorenzo ran out of chances to fight for the title last Monday, when they lost to Gimnasia LP 2-1 at home. The team are on four points in as many matches, trailing group B leaders Banfield by five. El Ciclon won only one of their last six games in this tournament, having drawn three and lost two. On a positive note, the side are on six away matches without defeat, with four successes and two draws. San Lorenzo defensive midfielder Diego Rodriguez is suspended after seeing a red card against Gimnasia LP. Bruno Pitton tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss out, as will his usual replacement Gabriel Rojas due to a muscle problem.
