With an alternative XI, San Lorenzo suffered a 1-0 away defeat at Argentinos Juniors last Sunday and they need to win at home to keep their chances to advance to the Superliga Cup quarter-finals. Following that result, El Ciclon is on four winless matches in all competitions (two draws in regular time and two defeats) without even scoring.
Argentinos Juniors managed an important 1-0 home win over San Lorenzo last weekend thanks to a goal from Miguel Torren in the first half. They are close to advance to the quarter-finals in spite of having finished the league season in the bottom spot. El Bicho is on three competitive games unbeaten, winning two and drawing one. In addition, they lost on away turf only once in the last five games, with two wins and two draws.
Win or get eliminated game for San Lorenzo and even though they’ve been having trouble to score, this is the game where they have no choice but to go all in. Argentinos beat them at this same stadium 3-2 just a few weeks ago and I can see another open game like that one.
