San Lorenzo form and stats

All-inclusive Superliga statistics at home this season for San Lorenzo are 1-5-0 (wins-draws-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for San Lorenzo.

A strong away win for Lorenzo against Argentinos Juniors the last match, as Vombergar were on target. At last, a league victory after three matches without one. Manager Insúa felt very clever after Vombergar scored the winning goal against Argentinos Juniors, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 87th minute. The talented striker Cerutti bested all the other footballers in that match and was awarded a match rating of 7.44 out of 10. Cerutti hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, San Lorenzo drew at home versus Talleres Cordoba.

This is expected to be a close game, with San Lorenzo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with San Lorenzo as a small favourite), we find 15 games. San Lorenzo has won 3 of these, drawn 6 and lost 6.
