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

This Sunday will be the first official match between the Ciclón and the Cordoba team.

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

The clash presents opposing realities. The Ciclón is looking to move closer to the top spots in Zone A after a series of irregular results, while the Cordoba team has yet to win since their promotion and needs to earn points to climb from the bottom of Zone B.

The team led by Damian Ayude comes from a 0-0 draw against Union de Santa Fe and a 1-0 loss in the classic against Huracan. They currently occupy the ninth place and need to win again to stay in the race.

On the other hand, the team managed by Ivan Delfino has only one point, from a draw and four defeats, including the thrashing suffered against Atletico Tucuman.

The match will also have a historical fact: it will be the first official meeting between both clubs.

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

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

Additionally, the schedule is tight: 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.
