Platense and San Martín (SJ) chase different goals in Vicente López | OneFootball

The Squid wants to become strong at home to get into the top eight, while the San Juan Saint seeks to break a negative streak and escape the bottom of the table.

This Friday from 7 PM, Platense and San Martín de San Juan will face each other at the Ciudad de Vicente López stadium as part of the tenth round of the Torneo Clausura.

The team led by Cristian "Kily" González comes from a 2-1 loss to Lanús, in an irregular campaign that keeps them close but still outside the playoff zone. The week brought good news: the contract renewal of Juan Ignacio Saborido until the end of 2027.

Meanwhile, the team of Leandro "Pipi" Romagnoli faces a true final thinking about staying in the league. Although they have 9 points and managed to climb positions in the zone, they are still last in the annual table and in the averages, tied with Aldosivi. The coach acknowledged that they need to improve on both fronts: "The good thing is that we create chances, but the bad thing is that we don't convert them," he said after the loss to Vélez. The sporting pressure is compounded by internal issues in the fan base, further complicating the atmosphere at the Saint.

Probable lineup of Platense vs. San Martín (SJ)

Platense (Cristian González): Andrés Desábato; Juan Ignacio Saborido, Ignacio Vázquez, Oscar Salomón, Celias Ingenthron; Guido Mainero, Rodrigo Herrera, Franco Baldassarra, Franco Zapiola; Ignacio Schor and Ronaldo Martínez.
