2nd position in the Superliga table for San Lorenzo at present, a fine showing. The home team supporters pray for more excitement as 13th-placed Instituto visit Estadio Pedro Bidegaín.
- San Lorenzo have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (1) in Superliga
- Instituto have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
San Lorenzo form and stats
San Lorenzo have been outstanding at home so far in the Superliga with 6 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses.
A good away victory last time out for San Lorenzo, who won 2-1 against Banfield (placed 25th). Some amazing scenes last match, when Barrios scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time. Elias (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.42/10. Elias scored one goal.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Defensa y Justicia.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lorenzo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 0.
It should be considered that a peek at the 10 latest league fixtures reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).
The manager Insúa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Fortaleza in only four days.
San Lorenzo has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches.
Instituto form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Instituto so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Instituto's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Martinez scored in Instituto's previous match, the home game against Colon that ended 1-0. Those three points felt nice as this side had gone four league rounds without winning. Late drama in the previous game, when Martinez scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Colon. Midfielder Watson was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.84. Watson hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Prior to that match, the Instituto manager Bovaglio faced defeat when travelling to Barracas Central and losing 0-3.Instituto are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.
Instituto have conceded 11 goals in these games.
