Command Analysis

Instituto

Current form
Prior to the start of the season, Instituto was not considered a clear contender for a playoff berth, and the selection of players did not allow them to set such ambitious goals. At the same time, the white-reds look very decent so far and quite unexpectedly burst into the playoff zone - with seven points, Pedro Troglio's team currently occupies the seventh place in the table. At the same time, the ninth Lanus is lagging behind only due to additional indicators, so the whole struggle is still ahead. In the last round, Instituto scored a goalless draw with Union, failing to win the second match in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pereira and Suarez are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last four matches, the "Instituto" got only one victory.
- In the last three matches, the Instituto has lost twice to San Lorenzo
Approximate composition: Roffo– Franco, Requena, Alarcon, Rodriguez–Acevedo, McAllister, Lodico, Batallini–Dellarossa, Luna.

San Lorenzo

Current form
San Lorenzo, unlike its current rival, was considered a clear contender for a playoff berth before the start of the season - the selection of players obliged them to set themselves such tasks. Miguel Angel Russo's team has been playing at a very high level since the start and is currently in fourth place in the table with 11 points, only three points behind the leader of Rosario Central, who has already played his match in the sixth round. Having beaten Platense 2-1 in the last round, San Lorenzo secured its third victory of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Altamirano, Cerutti and Muniain are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- San Lorenzo has not lost in five matches this season, with three wins and two draws.
- San Lorenzo has conceded only one goal in five matches this season.
Approximate line–up: Gill – Baez, Herrera, Romagna, Herrera - Braida, Irala, Tripiccio, Reali – Womberger, Cuello.

1.15Tip and bets
The "Instituto" broke into the playoff zone and is traditionally very strong on its field, but in recent rounds the "white and red" looked inconspicuous. After a few bright matches at the start, there may well be a recession, according to recent meetings, we can talk about it with confidence. San Lorenzo, in turn, started strongly, and continues to gain stable points and show very high–level football. Today, the blue-garnet team looks objectively stronger, it makes sense to give them preference.
We believe that the guests have a better chance of winning. Forecast - Asian handicap (0) at San Lorenzo. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.59
Bet on the total
Instituto does not play attacking football and strives, first of all, to play reliably in defense – only two goals were conceded in five rounds. Obviously, in a confrontation with such a powerful opponent, the white-Reds will also be as careful as possible at their gates. San Lorenzo is also very cautious in defense and has conceded one goal in five league meetings – in such a match, it is unlikely to count on a scoring extravaganza, it is very likely that one goal will decide everything.
The bet is a total of less than 1.5 goals. Such a bet is offered 2.05
Betting on corners
The Instituto will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but San Lorenzo is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.65
