San Lorenzo vs Estudiantes
San Lorenzo took a big breather last Friday, when they secured a massive 1-0 away success at CA Central Cordoba, who had been unbeaten in their previous ten league games. Thanks to Ezequiel Cerutti’s goal, El Ciclón made it two victories and one draw across their last four league games, along with a single defeat, which allows them to accumulate 24 points in the Liga Profesional and to open a ten-point gap over the relegation zone in the aggregate table. In addition, San Lorenzo won three of their last four home matches, losing only once in that spell. Coach Miguel Angel Russo has no new injuries to contend with on Tuesday. The man in charge would repeat the XI.
Estudiantes couldn’t show their best version last Thursday and had to settle for a disappointing 1-1 home stalemate against newcomers Independiente Rivadavia. However, the defending champions extended their unbeaten streak to five league matches, winning three and drawing two in that time. As a result, Eduardo Dominguez’s men made it 28 points in the Liga Profesional. On a sorry note, Estudiantes won only one of their last five domestic matches on away turf, along with one stalemate and three losses. Captain Enzo Perez has served his one-match suspension and is ready to return on Tuesday. Tiago Palacios is also available after overcoming a muscle problem.
As irregular as they’ve been, one thing for sure about San Lorenzo is that they are strong at home. Their only defeat in the last 4 games at their stadium was against the leader Velez but they won the other 3 and that’s the opposite of Estudiantes who has been poor playing away so at these odds I have to trust the hosts here.
