San Lorenzo eye win against struggling Estudiantes (RC) | OneFootball

This Sunday will mark the first official match between El Ciclón and the team from Córdoba.

San Lorenzo de Almagro will host Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto this Sunday at 5:00 PM at the Pedro Bidegain stadium, for the sixth round of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. The match will be refereed by Sebastián Martínez, with Diego Ceballos on VAR, and will be broadcast live on ESPN Premium throughout Argentina.

The clash brings together two teams in very different situations. El Ciclón is looking to move closer to the top spots in Zone A after a series of inconsistent results, while the Córdoba side has yet to win since their promotion and needs to pick up points to climb out of the bottom of Zone B.

The team led by Damian Ayude is coming off a 0-0 draw against Union de Santa Fe and a 1-0 defeat in the derby against Huracan. They are currently in ninth place and need to get back to winning ways to stay in the race.

Meanwhile, the team managed by Ivan Delfino has just one point, the result of a draw and four defeats, including a heavy loss to Atletico Tucuman.

The match will also have a historic note: it will be the first official meeting between the two clubs.

For this match, Ayude will make some changes. Jhohan Romaña will return after overcoming his injury, Luciano Vietto is set to make his first start, and Agustín Ladstatter is expected to play on the right side.

The starting eleven tested was: Orlando Gill; Ezequiel Herrera, Romaña, Gastón Hernández, Mathías De Ritis; Gonzalo Ábrego, Nicolás Tripichio; Ladstatter, Vietto, Gregorio Rodríguez; Alexis Cuello.

Furthermore, the schedule is tight: just a few days later, San Lorenzo will have to face Instituto Atletico Central Cordoba, with less than 48 hours of rest between the two matches.
