The Argentine League enters into action with the pride of representing the country of the world champions. Soccer and its fans are ready to see the usual great teams as well as others that are looking to surprise. San Lorenzo vs Arsenal is one of the duels scheduled for matchday 1 of this competition, in which 28 teams will play against each other in a single round-robin format.
San Lorenzo is in the midst of an institutional and sporting crisis, but the arrival of coach Rubén Darío Insúa in 2022 has helped to affront this change with good results during the last tournament. They stopped losing and qualified for the Copa Sudamericana, something that nobody dreamed of. On the other side, Arsenal was one of the worst teams last season and narrowly escaped relegation.

San Lorenzo Preview
Rubén Darío Insúa is looking to take the leap in 2023 after a year in which he managed, shortly after his mid-season arrival, to put together a strong team that stopped losing. The Copa Sudamericana will be one of their objectives, of course, but they know that they must not lose sight of the Argentine League.
It is still likely that no major changes will be reflected, as the reinforcements have yet to be integrated into the squad. Colombians Carlos La Roca Sánchez, Rafael Barrios and goalkeeper Facundo Altamirano are some of the new faces for this season.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Augusto Batalla, Federico Gattoni, Gastón Campi, Gastón Hernández, Gonzalo Luján, Jalil Elías, Agustín Martegani, Malcom Braida, Andrés Vombergar, Adam Bareiro, Nahuel Barrios.
The preview of Arsenal Sarandi
Arsenal had a bad season in which they were very close to relegation. The poor performance led to the departure of manager Leonardo Madelón, and now a former emblem of the Sarandí team as a player, Carlos David Ruiz, will be the new head coach. It is worth to mention that he is the player who has played the most games with the Arsenal jersey.
For Ruiz, building the squad is a headache, as he will have to face this task with reinforcements of limited hierarchy, in the midst of an institutional crisis in which many have left the club. The most interesting additions are midfielder Tiago Banega, who spent last season at Patronato, and Portuguese striker Luis Leal.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Alejandro Medina, Franco Martínez, Ignacio Gariglio, Iván Cabrera, Adrián Spörle, Lucas Brochero, Tiago Banega, Braian Rivero, Lautaro Guzmán, Facundo Pons, Santiago Toloza.
JefeBet Prediction
San Lorenzo has potential and with the support of their fans they will receive a plus against an Arsenal that looks like a team that will battle another year to stay in the first division. At JefeBet we believe that the home side will win with authority.
Prediction: San Lorenzo wins 2-0.
