El Tatengue looks to move into the cup spots

The team led by Leonardo Madelón starts the round with 4 points (one win, one draw, and two losses). After stumbling at home against Central Córdoba in a 2-1 defeat, the goal at the Nuevo Gasómetro is to take all three points, improve their position in the standings, and move closer to qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana.

For this match, the coach is considering changes to the starting eleven:

  • Lucas Ayala is ready to return to the starting lineup in defense.
  • Marcelo Estigarribia has the edge to start in midfield.
  • Lucas Menossi is the big doubt due to a knock; if he is unavailable, Mauro Luna Diale will play.
  • Cristian Tarragona remains the main attacking reference for the Santa Fe side.

A struggling Ciclón with forced changes

San Lorenzo are going through a difficult spell, with just 3 points from a possible 12 and the fresh blow of having lost the clásico against Huracán 2-0. To get things back on track, Néstor “Pipo” Gorosito will make changes to the setup:

  • José Devecchi will come into goal for Orlando Gill, who was sent off in the last round. The coach would abandon the five-man back line to return to a four-defender system.
  • Teo Rodríguez Pagano, Juan Pablo Álvarez, Ignacio Perruzzi, and Matías Reali are shaping up as tactical changes.
  • Facundo Gulli has been ruled out through injury, while the attacking duo will continue to be Alexis Cuello and Rodrigo Auzmendi.
