Colon is still threatened by relegation following their 1-1 home stalemate with direct contenders Rosario Central two weeks ago. As a result, the team are only one point above their last opponents, who are occupying the final drop spot at the moment. El Sabalero managed only four points in five rounds. However, all of those points were claimed at Brigadier Estanislao Lopez Stadium, where they registered one win, one draw and one defeat.
Meanwhile, San Lorenzo is now the only league leaders after beating Union Santa Fe 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Angel Romero and Bruno Pitton. El Ciclon remains unbeaten in the Superliga with 13 points from 15 on offer, two above second-placed Boca Juniors. Juan Antonio Pizzi’s men have been perfect on away turf so far as they won at Gimnasia LP and Sarandi Arsenal. San Lorenzo playmaker Fernando Belluschi is expected to be available after missing the last league game due to injury. Marcos Senesi has been sold to Dutch side Feyenoord.
League leaders San Lorenzo are one team in attack and a completely different in defense where they are weak and even more now that Marcos Senesi left the club and veteran Fabricio Coloccini is injured so I expect goals in this game.
