Central Cordoba vs San Lorenzo: Prediction for the Match on November 23 2025

Central Cordoba hosts San Lorenzo in the knockout round of the Torneo Betano Clausura which is presented as a tense and tactical game in Santiago del Estero. Both parties bring their own fair share of strengths: Central Cordoba are on a five-match winning streak without defeat and have demonstrated a good home standing, whereas San Lorenzo brings one of the most disciplined defensive histories in Argentina. As both teams are not characterized by a scoring football, this Round of 16 draw is bound to be characterized by patience, organization, and the slightest of margins.

Central Cordoba: Form and Statistics

The most recent game of Central Cordoba was a 1-1 draw against Banfield at home, which demonstrated the strong aspects of the team as well as its flaws. They had been in control of possession but were made to endure heavy pressure as they gave away twenty three shots receiving but ten of their own.Nevertheless, regardless of that unequal situation, they managed to keep their composure and defend their box and on the hand of brilliant goalkeeping, the match was even. They have run a steady course: they beat Union Santa Fe and Huracan, and have had three draws in a row, one of them also without a goal, against Racing and Independiente Rivadavia. Central Cordoba records an average of more than one goal per game and a little bit more than that of the conceded goals. They are better at home where they score 1.31 per match and allow only 0.81 and hence a positive differentiation in Santiago del Estero. Central Cordoba matches are likely to be controlled and not chaotic. The vast majority of their fixtures are not more than three goals, and their clean-sheet rate is high at home and is also backed by an xG profile that indicates that they give up lower-quality opportunities in their own field.

Central Cordoba: Lineup

Central Cordoba would have a tendency to use the same 3-4-3 formation as they had earlier in the game. Alan Aguerre should stay in goal. Perude and Cufre will be the full-backs on the back line with Abascia, Casermeiro, Mansilla being a rough centre trio that handles any counter-attack by San Lorenzo. The pivot between Bobadilla and Matias Vera is such that it provides a balance in the middle of the field: on several occasions, Bobadilla initiates the initial pass in the transition and Vera provides intensity and coverage. It is probable that Heredia will be the forward with the responsibility of holding up the play and offering movement within the box. This is a small and responsive structure designed to play a match, in which efficiency is of the essence.

San Lorenzo: Form and Statistics

San Lorenzo go into the knock out stage with clear identity. Another expression of their defensive ability was their 1-1 tie with Sarmiento Junin when they restricted clear opportunities and xG and generated greater xG than their counterparts although with less possession. In their previous five matches, they have won two, drawn two and lost only one with clean sheets over Rosario central and Deportivo Riestra. San Lorenzo is among the best teams in terms of defense as it only allows 0.69 goals per game over the season. They have recorded clean sheets in an almost half of their games and have not surrendered more than two times in a single game. Their record away is also strong having conceded 0.76 goals in their away games. They are much less prolific, however, in their assault. San Lorenzo only have a goal per match of 0.86 and have not managed to score in over three out of every ten matches. Their games have one of the poorest-scoring in Argentina as about every five matches end with fewer than 2.5 goals. This risk-averse policy is low-risk, but requires efficiency in times of crunch.

San Lorenzo: Lineup

San Lorenzo are supposed to re-enact their 4-2-3-1 formation in which defensive discipline is the main theme. At the centre of the defence, Hernandez protects Hernandez with Herrera at right-back and Baez at left-back. This back four has seen them record well during away games. Francisco Perruzzi needs to regulate the tempo in the middle of the field with the help of the work-rate of Tripichio and Gulli as the number 10. All these enable San Lorenzo to preserve a tight distance and keep the opponents without a way out. Cerutti and Ladstatter will likely have the opposition stretched to both ends, with Perruzzi giving them a physical presence with the middle, with depth runs, and acting as a point of reference in transitions.

San Lorenzo starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Gill – Herrera, Romana, Hernandez, Baez – Tripichio, Peruzzi – Cerutti, Gulli, Ladstatter – Perruzzi

Out: Arias, Insaurralde (injured), Herrera, Romana (in doubt)

Head coach: D. Ayude
