San Lorenzo had to settle for a 1-1 away draw at Colon last weekend, which means the side celebrated a single victory in their last 15 Superliga matches (drawing eight and losing six of them). Having accumulated 21 points so far, El Ciclon has left the bottom spot of the league table, but just the goal difference separates them from San Martin Tucuman. San Lorenzo has failed to win in the last seven league games at their own stadium, earning four points in that span.
Thanks to Horacio Tijanovich’s goal in the 93rd minute of the game, Gimnasia LP secured their top-flight status after winning over Newell’s Old Boys 1-0 at home. Five days later, they advanced to the Copa Argentina’s second round by beating third-tier club Defensores Villa Ramallo on penalties after a 0-0 draw. However, they must keep accumulating points to improve their average for next season. El Lobo’s campaign has been poor so far, with only 25 points. Only one of those points was claimed in the last eight away matches.
San Lorenzo will use an alternative XI due to their upcoming Copa Libertadores game on Tuesday, with some promising youngsters so they should have a faster-paced game than lately. Gimnasia has struggled to score lately but playing away they have conceded in 7 of their last 8 games and I expect goals here.
