The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. San Lorenzo are in the 5th position while the guesting Argentinos Juniors worry at 9th.
- San Lorenzo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- San Lorenzo have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Argentinos Juniors have scored away.
The hosts Lorenzo saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Copa Libertadores. That game was an away game at Santos, so at least Lorenzo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
San Lorenzo form and stats
San Lorenzo have collected 7 points from their Superliga home games so far after 2-1-2.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Platense and winning 4-2.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Santos last time out, but a goal from Ángel Romero completed a comeback to a draw result for Lorenzo.
This is expected to be a close game, with 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 eleven games. San Lorenzo has won two of these, drawn five and lost four.
The Lorenzo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Lorenzo have conceded 8 from these games.
Argentinos Juniors form and stats
As the visiting team in Superliga matches, Argentinos Juniors have produced an overall stat of 1-1-2 so far.
E. Gomez was the last player to score for the away team. Argentinos haven't scored a league goal in the last 183 minutes. The Argentinos goalkeeper Lucas Abraham Chavez is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 222 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Argentinos delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Central Cordoba SdE (placed 6th) in their previous match; a Superliga game. A 0-0 draw at Colon's stadium before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Argentinos Juniors playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were two Argentinos wins, two draws and eight defeats.
After this away game Argentinos return home for a Copa Libertadores game against Nacional. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Goals are few and far between in Argentinos's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Lorenzo, two draws and two wins for Argentinos Juniors. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
