San Lorenzo vs Patronato
San Lorenzo took a little breather in the context of a deep crisis last Tuesday by beating Union Santa Fe 2-1 away, with Federico Gattoni netting a brace. The team managed to stop a four-match winless streak in league action (three draws and one defeat) and made it 11 points in the Copa Liga Profesional (of course, they are far away from the qualifying spots in group A). On a sorry note, San Lorenzo are the worst home team in the league, having registered three draws and two losses this season.
Meanwhile, Patronato are going through difficult times. Last Wednesday, the team succumbed to their third consecutive defeat in the Copa Liga Profesional, losing to Racing Club 3-2 at home in an intense game. Following this negative streak, the team remain on seven points in 11 rounds in this competition and continue occupying the bottom spot in the relegation table, 11 behind the last safe spot, occupied by Sarandi Arsenal. On away turf, El Patron registered one victory and four losses this term.
San Lorenzo finally won again midweek, their confidecent has improved, and it’s unbelievable they still couldn’t get one win at home, so this poor Patronato looks like a perfect match for their needs.
