The second to last fixture in the Argentina Primera Division first phase sees third-place San Lorenzo hosting 10th-place Argentinos Jrs. It’s been an excellent campaign for San Lorenzo who will be looking to leapfrog Talleres with a win here. They trail second-place by just two points with two matches remaining but sit 11 points behind league leaders River Plate. The home team comes into this fixture looking to preserve their unbeaten home record. The most remarkable part of San Lorenzo’s season is that they are still yet to concede at the Estadio Pedro Bidegain in the league. El Ciclon have played 12 domestic games on home soil, scoring 12 and conceding zero en route to an eight win, five draw record. San Lorenzo’s last fixture resulted in a 2-0 home win over Independiente Medellin in the Copa Sudamericana. It was the club’s third win in a row, fourth clean sheet in a row and extended their unbeaten run to 11 games across all competitions.

Argentinos Jrs come into this fixture firmly in mid-table with 37 points from their 25 matches. They can potentially rise as high as sixth-place with a win on Saturday, depending on the results from other fixtures. The visitors have been strong on home soil this season but have struggled to pick up consistent results on the road. Argentinos Jrs are averaging an impressive 2.00 points earned per home outing which falls to just 1.00 average when they play on the road. Additionally, Bichos Colorados’ goal production takes a massive hit in away fixtures. They’ve managed to score just five away goals this Primera Division season in 13 outings compared to 22 at home. Argentinos Jrs are coming off a 1-0 home win over Colon last weekend which snapped a four game unbeaten run. The visitors will likely struggle against this stalwart San Lorenzo defense, especially with their inability to put the ball in the net as the away side.
