Racing under pressure to win, host San Lorenzo at home | OneFootball

La Academia looks to break their losing streak in the local tournament, while El Ciclón aims to stay at the top. They face off from 19:00 at the Cilindro.

For the eighth round of the Torneo Clausura 2025, Racing Club will host San Lorenzo this Friday from 19:00 at the Cilindro de Avellaneda. La Academia is looking to end their bad run in the local tournament, while El Ciclón aims to remain at the top.

Racing is going through a tough start: they have only earned 4 points in seven matches and haven’t won any of their home games, marking the worst start in the club’s history at the Cilindro. “The most important thing is the mental aspect, and that’s what we’re lacking, beyond tactics. We need to regain our confidence,” explained Gustavo Costas, coach of La Academia. The contest for the goalkeeper spot will be between Gabriel Arias and Facundo Cambeses.

For their part, San Lorenzo comes after drawing the clásico against Huracán and will seek three points to stay close to River in the standings with 12 points. Captain Gastón Hernández trained normally but will not be risked. Orlando Gill, who returned from the Paraguayan national team, will start.

Racing (Coach: Gustavo Costas): Gabriel Arias or Facundo Cambeses; Franco Pardo, Santiago Sosa, Agustín García Basso or Nazareno Colombo; Gastón Martirena, Juan Nardoni, Agustín Almendra, Gabriel Rojas; Santiago Solari, Adrián Martínez, Adrián Balboa or Duván Vergara or Luciano Vietto.

San Lorenzo (Coach: Damián Ayude): Orlando Gill; Fabricio López, Jhohan Romaña, Daniel Herrera, Elías Báez; Nicolás Tripichio, Ignacio Perruzzi, Juan Cruz Rattalino; Ezequiel Cerutti, Andrés Vombergar, Alexis Cuello.
