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 performance 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 managed by Ricardo Zielinski will try to get into the playoff zone and put an end to their poor run in the championship, where they have only one victory in the last five matches—the same situation as the Cuyo side, which also faces the extra pressure of relegation.

Clausura

The Cordoban “Pirate” had a good start in the Clausura, with seven points in the first four rounds; however, after the 2-1 win over Banfield, they have not managed another three-point haul and have dropped out of the playoff zone. They will try to get back in if they can return to winning ways, all while keeping in mind the upcoming commitment against Newell’s in the quarterfinals of 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 the chance to join the group advancing to the next round, although their main concern is to move away from relegation, as they currently occupy the last spot both in the annual table and in the averages table. They are also going through a period in which they have managed only two wins in their last ten matches. Despite this, their coach, Leandro Romagnoli, expressed satisfaction with his players’ performance after the recent 2-0 defeat to River and assured that the team “is improving and must continue with that mentality.”
