Betting on San Lorenzo
Under the guidance of Rubén Darío Insúa, the team has managed to secure nine points out of a possible 12. Their most recent victory came against Sarmiento, whom they defeated 1-0 in Junín.
Although El Ciclón is an organized team, they need to improve their effectiveness in the opponent’s area, given that they have won all their games so far with just one goal scored. Federico Gattoni, who returned to the team after being left out for two games due to contract renewal issues, scored the winning goal in the match against Sarmiento. In the second half, the captain’s armband was taken from the next defender of Spain’s Sevilla, who scored a goal for the team in the 58th minute.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Augusto Batalla; Gastón Hernández, Rafael Pérez and Federico Gattoni; Jalil Elías, Carlos Sánchez, Malcom Braida and Nahuel Barrios; Ezequiel Cerutti, Adam Bareiro or Nicolás Blandi and Andrés Vombergar.
Betting on Union Santa Fe
In their most recent match, the Tatengue drew against Colón, in their home stadium. The game started well for Gustavo Munúa’s team, with Luciano Aued scoring a goal in the 21st minute of the first half, followed by Baldomero Perlaza scoring a goal in the second half.
However, the team missed several opportunities to increase the score during the first half and their performance declined in the second half, resulting in Colón scoring an equalizer. Throughout the 90 minutes, Union only managed to create one serious scoring chance, committed 16 fouls, and had 53% ball possession.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Santiago Mele; Federico Vera, Franco Calderón, Oscar Piris and Claudio Corvalán; Luciano Aued, Imanol Machuca, Yeison Gordillo, Mauro Luna Diale and Kevin Zenon; and Thiago Vecino.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of San Lorenzo vs Unión indicates that they have met 62 times, out of which the Buenos Aires team won 25 and the Santa Fe team 21.
Union is a weak team, lacking effectiveness in the opponent’s goal and order in their lines. On the other hand, San Lorenzo has been able to take three points at a time thanks to an even collective performance, although never superlative, it is true. At JefeBet we believe that it will be enough, however, to win by more than the minimum.
Prediction: San Lorenzo wins 2-0.
