El Tatengue looks to move into the cup spots

Leonardo Madelón’s team begins the round with 4 points (one win, one draw, and two losses). After stumbling at home against Central Córdoba, losing 2-1, the goal at the Nuevo Gasómetro is to take all three points, improve their position in the table, and move closer to qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana.

For this clash, the coach is considering changes to the starting eleven:

Lucas Ayala is ready to return to the starting lineup in defense.
Marcelo Estigarribia has the edge to start in midfield.
Lucas Menossi is the big question mark due to a knock; if he is not fit, Mauro Luna Diale will play.
Cristian Tarragona remains firmly the main attacking reference for the Santa Fe side.

A Ciclón in crisis and forced into changes

San Lorenzo are going through a difficult spell, with just 3 points from a possible 12 and still reeling from a 2-0 loss in the clásico against Huracán. To get things back on track, Néstor “Pipo” Gorosito will make changes to the setup:

José Devecchi will come into goal for Orlando Gill, who was sent off in the last round. The coach would abandon the back five to return to a four-man defense.
Teo Rodríguez Pagano, Juan Pablo Álvarez, Ignacio Perruzzi, and Matías Reali are shaping up as tactical changes.
Facundo Gulli has been ruled out through injury, while the attacking duo will continue to be Alexis Cuello and Rodrigo Auzmendi.

The teams’ probable lineups

San Lorenzo: José Devecchi; Nicolás Blanco, Emiliano Amor, Danilo Arboleda, Teo Rodríguez Pagano; Juan Pablo Álvarez, Nicolás Tripichio, Ignacio Perruzzi, Matías Reali; Alexis Cuello and Rodrigo Auzmendi. Coach: Néstor Gorosito.

Unión: Matías Mansilla; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Juan Pablo Ludueña, Lucas Ayala; Julián Palacios, Ignacio Malcorra, Joaquín Mosqueira, Lucas Menossi; Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona. Coach: Leonardo Madelón.
