Racing must win as they host San Lorenzo | OneFootball

The Academy is looking to break their losing streak in the local tournament, while the Cyclone aims to stay on top. They face off at 19:00 in the Cylinder.

For the eighth date of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, Racing Club will host San Lorenzo this Friday from 19:00 at the Cylinder of Avellaneda. The Academy is looking to break their losing streak in the local tournament, while the Cyclone aims to stay on top.

Racing is having a difficult start: they've only scored 4 points in seven matches and haven't won any of their home games, the worst start in the club's history at the Cylinder. "The most important thing is the mental aspect and that's what we're lacking, beyond tactics. We need to regain confidence," explained Gustavo Costas, the Academy's coach. The goalkeeping dispute will be between Gabriel Arias and Facundo Cambeses.

On the other hand, San Lorenzo comes after drawing the classic against Huracán and will seek the three points to stay close to River in the table with 12 units. The captain Gastón Hernández trained normally, but will not be risked. Orlando Gill, who returned from the Paraguayan national team, will be a starter.

Racing (Coach: Gustavo Costas): Gabriel Arias or Facundo Cambeses; Franco Pardo, Santiago Sosa, Agustín García Basso or Nazareno Colombo; Gastón Martirena, Juan Nardoni, Agustín Almendra, Gabriel Rojas; Santiago Solari, Adrián Martínez, Adrián Balboa or Duván Vergara or Luciano Vietto.

San Lorenzo (Coach: Damián Ayude): Orlando Gill; Fabricio López, Jhohan Romaña, Daniel Herrera, Elías Báez; Nicolás Tripichio, Ignacio Perruzzi, Juan Cruz Rattalino; Ezequiel Cerutti, Andrés Vombergar, Alexis Cuello.
