San Lorenzo aim to end their run of three draws against DYJ | OneFootball

San Lorenzo will be the home team this Monday at the Nuevo Gasómetro against Defensa y Justicia, the next rival of Unión, for the 11th round of the Torneo Apertura.

San Lorenzo de Almagro will host Defensa y Justicia this Monday at 6:30 PM at the Pedro Bidegain stadium, for the 11th round of the Professional Football League.

The match will be officiated by Pablo Dóvalo, while the VAR will be managed by Fernando Espinoza. The broadcast will be on TNT Sports Premium.

The azulgrana team needs to secure a win after three consecutive draws, with the aim of staying in the fight for playoff spots in Zone A.

Return to the Nuevo Gasómetro

The match will also mark San Lorenzo's return to their stadium after two away games. For the team led by Damián Ayude, the duel represents an important opportunity to regain ground in the standings.

The Ciclón comes from a 1-1 draw against Boca Juniors at La Bombonera and, so far in the championship, has three wins, four draws, and two losses.

With 13 points accumulated, the Boedo team remains hopeful in Zone A, although they need a victory to solidify their position among the contenders for qualification.

Absences and a warning for Cuello

Coach Ayude will have to reorganize his team due to the absences of Gastón Hernández and Ezequiel Cerutti, two significant losses for the squad.

Additionally, one player to watch will be Alexis Cuello. The forward has accumulated four yellow cards and, if he is booked again, he will miss the next match of the championship.

Defensa y Justicia also seeks to break the streak

Facing them will be a Defensa y Justicia team also looking to end a series of draws. The team led by Mariano Soso comes from a 1-1 draw with Central Córdoba and has five consecutive draws in the tournament.

The Halcón has the same 13 points as San Lorenzo, although they are one position above in the standings after recording two wins and seven draws in the championship.

The last encounter between both teams dates back to September 21, 2024, when they drew 0-0 in the Professional League.

Probable lineups

San Lorenzo: Orlando Gill; Ezequiel Herrera, Jhohan Romaña, Franco Lorenzón or Guzmán Corujo, Mathias De Ritis; Agustín Ladstatter, Ignacio Perruzzi, Nicolás Tripichio, Facundo Gulli; Luciano Vietto and Alexis Cuello.

Coach: Damián Ayude.
