A look at the Superliga standings shows that this is top- versus mid-table, but there's more to this game than that. Get our San Lorenzo - Boca Juniors match preview!
- San Lorenzo have not yet lost a game at home.
- Boca Juniors have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added mental strain and importance.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors.
San Lorenzo form and stats
4-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for San Lorenzo so far this season.
It's back home for Lorenzo, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Atletico Tucuman away with the result 3-1. Leguizamon (2) and Barrios found the net in that victory. Midfielder Leguizamon was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.23 (out of ten) in that game. Leguizamon scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
Before that game, a fine away win at Estudiantes Merida. A Copa Sudamericana match.
The manager Insúa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Talleres Cordoba in only four days.
The San Lorenzo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches.
Boca Juniors form and stats
Playing away, Boca Juniors have won 2 games, drawn 0 and suffered 2 defeats in the Superliga this season.
This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Colon with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for Juniors in the Colon match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Midfield player Romero was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.24/10. Romero scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 73 successful passes (of 86 total).
Before that game, 0-0 away against Monagas in the Copa Libertadores.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Estudiantes in just three days.
Boca Juniors are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far.
