Deportivo Riestra suffered a 0-1 away defeat to Central Córdoba in their previous match. The team is still without a win so far in the new season and has been in extremely poor form. Statistically, Deportivo Riestra has scored just 2 goals and conceded 6 in the league to date, with weak attack but solid defense as its most notable trait. In addition, Deportivo Riestra performs slightly better at home than away. The team adopts a defensive counter-attack tactic; however, across the first 10 league games, it has only found the net twice, making it the least potent attacking side in the Argentine Primera División. Although its defensive performance is impressive, the sluggish attack remains its biggest problem.
San Lorenzo thrashed Sportivo Las Parejas 5-0 in the Argentine Cup last time out, shaking off a winless streak of four league games. Statistically, San Lorenzo has scored 10 goals and conceded 10 in the league so far, displaying an open, attacking style with balanced but fluctuating performances at both ends of the pitch. The team’s attacking threat is fairly spread out, and its players excel in movement and combination play in the final third, which often catches opponents off guard. Unfortunately, its defensive line has been far from convincing. Notably, San Lorenzo has drawn its last three away games in a row, showing considerable resilience on the road.
In terms of overall performance, San Lorenzo is clearly superior to Deportivo Riestra. Moreover, San Lorenzo’s strong attacking firepower is unmatched by Deportivo Riestra. Taking everything into account, San Lorenzo, with a more reliable attack, is expected to pick up points in this encounter.
