The team that will be local at the Nuevo Gasómetro, in this matchday 24 game to be played on Saturday, October 8, has recovered from a bad start at the begining of the season.

San Lorenzo preview
San Lorenzo is placed 11th out of 28 teams in the standings, and while in the cold analysis of its numbers it doesn’t look too bad, the reality is that this team with so much history in Argentine soccer has a low performance in this season so far. The arrival of coach Rubén Darío Insua calmed was somewhat of a relief and stopped a negative losing streak. Despite having lost only four games this tournament, San Lorenzo registers a large number of ties: 13 out of 23.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Augusto Batalla, Gastón Hernández, Cristian Zapata, Gastón Campi, Agustín Giay, Siro Rosané, Juan Méndez, Malcom Braida, Ezequiel Cerutti, Nahuel Barrios, Adam Bareiro.
Velez Sarsfield preview
For Vélez Sarsfield, the recent win against Godoy Cruz was like a breath of fresh air in a year that had turned dark. It was the second victory in almost two months, a period in which Velez played a lot of games and lost almost everything. Including the crushing Copa Libertadores series against mighty Flamengo (1-6 on aggregate).
These last matches of the tournament are a real challenge for coach Alexander Medina, who arrived with great prestige and began to generate some doubts as negative results started to accumulate.
Vélez has been unable to beat San Lorenzo at the Nuevo Gasómetro since 2014, when it beat them 3-2. Since then, they have played in that stadium four times and locals have always won.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Leonardo Burián, Tomás Guidara, Damián Fernández, Miguel Brizuela, Emiliano Insúa, Agustín Mulet, José Florentín, Lucas Janson, Walter Bou, Luca Orellano, Abiel Osorio.
JefeBet Prediction
Neither team gives enough guarantees to predict a winner beforehand, so at JefeBet we believe that San Lorenzo vs Velez Sarsfield will be a very close and tight encounter that will end in a tie.
Prediction: Tie 1 to 1.
