Tricky away day: San Lorenzo face unstoppable Rosario Central in Arroyito | OneFootball

From 21:00, the Cyclone visits a Canalla team already qualified, with the need to win to get into the championship playoffs.

A decisive match is coming up at the Gigante de Arroyito. This Friday, from 21:00, Rosario Central will host San Lorenzo for the 15th round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, in a clash that can define much on both fronts: the Rosarinos aim to secure the top spot in the group, and the Boedo team wants to get among the top eight.

The Canalla arrives in an excellent moment. Last weekend, they defeated Instituto 3-1 and secured the first place in the annual table with 65 points, earning them a spot in the 2026 Copa Libertadores. Additionally, with 30 points, they lead Zone B of the Clausura and depend on themselves to finish the phase as leaders. Under the guidance of Ariel Holan and with Ángel Di María as a key player, Central is the only undefeated team in the tournament with eight wins and six draws.

On the other side, San Lorenzo also arrives on a high, having won their last two matches —2-1 against Atlético Tucumán and 1-0 against Deportivo Riestra—, results that propelled them to the fifth place in Zone B with 22 points. The Cyclone knows that a victory in Rosario will automatically qualify them for the round of 16 and will also bring them closer to the 2026 Copa Sudamericana, where they are already in sixth place in the annual table.

Probable line-ups

Rosario Central: Jorge Broun; Emanuel Coronel, Juan Cruz Komar, Carlos Quintana, Agustín Sández; Ángel Di María, Franco Ibarra, Ignacio Malcorra, Jaminton Campaz; Enzo Copetti and Alejo Véliz. Coach: Ariel Holan.
