Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, San Lorenzo in 9th and Estudiantes in 13th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
San Lorenzo form and stats
When playing at home in the Superliga, San Lorenzo have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games.
The San Lorenzo goalkeeper Sebastian Alberto Torrico is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 198 minutes without conceding a goal in the Superliga.
The San Lorenzo fans got no joy from their last match, a Torneos De Verano game also here at Estadio Pedro Bidegain: A 1-3 defeat against Talleres Córdoba (placed 12th). Before that match, a Superliga win away at River Plate.
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 seven games. San Lorenzo has won 1 of these, drawn 5 and lost 1.
There will be little rest for San Lorenzo after this match as they are travelling to Newell's Old Boys for a Superliga game in only three days.
The San Lorenzo fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 8 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Estudiantes form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Estudiantes so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Argentinos Juniors (placed 2nd) in their previous outing. The Superliga match ended in a draw 1-1. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Atlético Tucumán.
Estudiantes were so close to winning the game against Argentinos Juniors, hitting the post 3 times.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Estudiantes in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Estudiantes, 6 draws and 7 defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Unión Santa Fe in just four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Estudiantes as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. 11 goals have been conceded by Estudiantes in these games.
Head 2 Head
Last five meetings between the teams: San Lorenzo won 3, Estudiantes won 1 and 1 draw. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
