Belgrano host San Martín de San Juan, aiming to end their poor run | OneFootball

Belgrano has gone three matches without a win and this Thursday at 8:00 PM will host San Martín de San Juan with the obligation to return to victory.

Belgrano started the Clausura Tournament on the right foot, thrashing Huracán 3-0 as visitors, but then their level declined and they are now on a streak of three matches without a win, with one draw and two consecutive losses. That’s why they are under pressure to win when they host San Martín de San Juan this Thursday at 8:00 PM.

The team led by Ricardo Zielinski will try to break into the playoff zone and put an end to their poor run in the championship, where they have only one win in their last five matches—the same situation as the team from Cuyo, which also faces the added pressure of relegation.

Clausura

The Cordoban “Pirate” had a good start in the Clausura, with seven points in the first four rounds. However, after their 2-1 victory over Banfield, they haven’t managed another win and have fallen out of the playoff zone. They’ll try to get back in if they can return to winning ways, all while keeping in mind their upcoming quarterfinal clash against Newell’s in the Copa Argentina. Meanwhile, their star player, Lucas Zelarayán, will rejoin the squad after his participation with the Armenian National Team during the FIFA international break.

The “Verdinegro” also has a chance to join the group advancing to the next round, although their main concern is avoiding relegation, as they currently occupy the last spot in both the annual table and the points average table. They are also going through a period in which they have only managed two wins in their last ten matches. Despite this, their coach, Leandro Romagnoli, expressed satisfaction with his players’ performance after their most recent 2-0 defeat to River, and assured that the team “is improving and must keep that mentality.”

Probable lineups

Belgrano: Thiago Cardozo; Leonardo Morales, Alexis Maldonado, Lisandro López, and Federico Ricca; Gabriel Compagnucci or Ulises Sánchez, Santiago Longo, Rodrigo Saravia, and Julián Mavilla; Nicolás Fernández and Franco Jara. Coach: Ricardo Zielinski.
