The San Lorenzo boss will be grateful to have no fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this clash owing to a completely healthy squad ready to go.

In our view, Ciclón could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Orlando Gill, Ezequiel Herrera, Gaston Hernández, Jhohan Romaña, Mathías de Ritis, Nicolás Tripichio, Gonzalo Abrego, Agustín Ladstatter, Luciano Vietto, Matías Reali and Alexis Cuello.

📋 Team News: Instituto

Owing to a completely healthy group to pick from, the Instituto boss has zero fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this match.

We’re of the thinking that La Gloria (The Glory) appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup using Manuel Roffo, Fernando Alarcón, Leonel Mosevich, Jonathan Galván, Giuliano Cerato, Juan Ignacio Méndez, Gastón Lódico, Diego Sosa, Jhon Córdoba, Matias Fonseca and Alex Luna.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Instituto will have to work hard as a team to hit the back of the net against this San Lorenzo team who we think will likely do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We therefore see a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for San Lorenzo at the end of this one.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
