San Lorenzo aim to end their run of three draws against DYJ | OneFootball

San Lorenzo will play at home this Monday at the Nuevo Gasómetro against Defensa y Justicia, Unión’s next rival, for matchday 11 of the Torneo Apertura.

San Lorenzo de Almagro will host Defensa y Justicia this Monday from 6:30 p.m. at the Pedro Bidegain stadium, for matchday 11 of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol.

The match will be officiated by Pablo Dóvalo, while the VAR will be handled by Fernando Espinoza. The broadcast will be on TNT Sports Premium.

The azulgrana side needs to get back to winning ways after three consecutive draws, aiming to stay in the fight for playoff spots in Zone A.

Return to the Nuevo Gasómetro

The match will also mark San Lorenzo’s return to their stadium after two games away from home. For the team led by Damián Ayude, the match represents an important opportunity to regain ground in the standings.

El Ciclón is coming off a 1-1 draw against Boca Juniors at La Bombonera and, so far in the championship, has three wins, four draws, and two defeats.

With 13 points accumulated, the Boedo team remains in contention in Zone A, although they need a win to solidify their position among the playoff hopefuls.

Absences and a warning for Cuello

Coach Ayude will have to reorganize his team due to the absences of Gastón Hernández and Ezequiel Cerutti, two significant losses for the squad.

Additionally, one player to watch will be Alexis Cuello. The forward has accumulated four yellow cards and, if booked again, will miss the next match of the championship.

Defensa y Justicia can’t break the streak either

On the other side will be a Defensa y Justicia team also looking to end a string of draws. The team led by Mariano Soso is coming off a 1-1 draw with Central Córdoba and has five consecutive draws in the tournament.

El Halcón has the same 13 points as San Lorenzo, although it sits one spot above in the standings after recording two wins and seven draws in the championship.

The last meeting between the two teams dates back to September 21, 2024, when they drew 0-0 in the Liga Profesional.

Probable lineups

San Lorenzo: Orlando Gill; Ezequiel Herrera, Jhohan Romaña, Franco Lorenzón or Guzmán Corujo, Mathias De Ritis; Agustín Ladstatter, Ignacio Perruzzi, Nicolás Tripichio, Facundo Gulli; Luciano Vietto and Alexis Cuello.

Coach: Damián Ayude.

Coach: Mariano Soso.

With both teams tied on points, the clash at the Nuevo Gasómetro promises to be key in determining who can take a step forward in the fight for playoff qualification in the tournament.
