San Lorenzo
, urged to achieve its first victory in the
League Cup
, receives
Tigre
, having a poor campaign and needing to score points, in a match valid for the sixth date of Zone A of the competition.
The clash will be played from 5 p.m. at the Pedro Bidegain stadium, it will be refereed by Nicolás Ramírez and Sebastián Zunino will be on the VAR.
It will be televised on the TNT Sports signal.
Those led by
Ruben Darío Insua
need to win their first game and if possible against their people, after an improvement demonstrated in the second half of the draw against Estudiantes (1 to 1), where the coach introduced some changes in the scheme and ended up playing with three center forwards.
Defender Gonzalo Luján and Paraguayan forward Iván Leguizamón returned to San Lorenzo after their respective commitments with their national teams in the last
Under 23 Pre-Olympic
tournament played in Venezuela.
Leguizamón would be a concrete option for Insúa in case of reinforcing the attack and Luján is listed as one of the first replacements in the defensive line for the clash against
Matador
.
Facundo Altamirano
recovered from the fracture in the right malar - which occurred in the 4-1 defeat against Racing - and will return to goal in place of Gastón
Chila
Gómez.
The goalkeeper from Banfield suffered a facial fracture in the fall against Racing, but he trained normally all week and spoke with the medical specialist and will play with a mask.
Midfielder
Cristian Ferreira
, on the other hand, would be out against Tigre and it is likely that Insúa will preserve him for the 7th.
date, in the classic against Huracán.
"If there are no problems this will be the 11th: (Facundo) Altamirano; (Jhohan) Romaña, Luján, (Gastón) Hernández; (Agustín) Giay, (Elián) Irala, (Francisco) Perruzzi, (Malcom) Braida; Leguizamón, ( Adam) Bareiro and (Nahuel) Barrios," the Gallego announced in the press conference after the training session in which he rehearsed with that formation.
"Iván Tapia had a minor contracture and on Monday he would return to practice. The same with Cristian Ferreira. The sum of games made it complicated for him, I imagine," he explained about the injuries he does not have for this Saturday against "Matador." ".
For its part, the Victoria team led by
Néstor "Pipo" Gorosito,
a Sanlorencista idol, arrives at this Saturday's duel in the middle of a bad campaign and after losing at home (1-0) against Defensa y Justicia.
The coach does not seem to find his way but it is possible that against "Ciclón" he will repeat the starting eleven that started playing the last date against "Halcón".
"Everything worries me. Not scoring points, not winning, not scoring goals; a little bit of everything. We are all worried about the situation because we have been in the tournament for 20 days and there is no time," said Gorosito, whose team has not scored points yet.
In history they played 66 times and San Lorenzo has a difference of 24 games with 39 victories.
Tigre won 15 times and tied on another 12 occasions.
