Racing Club vs San Lorenzo: Prediction for the Match on September 13 2025

Racing Club is playing San Lorenzo in Avellaneda in Round 8 of the Torneo Betano 2025 Clausura. Each of the two parties needs vital points to keep them within the top half and this iconic Argentine rivalry is likely to be intense with narrow margins.

Racing Club: Form and Statistics

After a bad 2-3 loss at home to Union Santa Fe, racing goes into this confrontation. Although they have scored twice, they are currently conceding 13 goals in 7 Clausura matches that illustrates an urgent problem with their defense as a solution to coach Gustavo Costas. They have currently lost 4 out of the last 5 matches in all matches and the sole victory was in the Copa Argentina against penarol. They score on average 12.4 shots per game and they retain possession 57% but they have not been able to exploit their domination in recent games. Nevertheless, they are still risky during the last third and have 17 goals during the Clausura and an xG/per match of 1.67.

Racing Club: Lineup

Coach Gustavo Costas will stick to his typical 5-4-1 formation, which is based on the high-possession strategy and an offensive breadth. The striker of the team will be Adrian Martinez and will be assisted by Balboa and Solari on the flanks. Midfield pair of Almendra and Nardoni will have to provide further defensive balance, which avoids transition which has proved costly to them in the recent games.

� Racing Club starting lineup (5-4-1)

Arias – Martirena, Colombo, Sosa, Garcia, Rojas – Balboa, Almendra, Nardoni, Solari – Adrian Martinez

⛔️ Out: none

� Head coach: Gustavo Costas

San Lorenzo: Form and Statistics

San Lorenzo have grown in the field of defense, having kept two clean sheets in 1-0 victory against Instituto and a goalless draw with derby against Huracan. The team led by Ruben Dario Insua has at present only conceded 9 goals in 7 games in the Clausura, with a very formidable defensive line. Offensively, though, the team is ineffective, having only scored 13 goals in 14 league matches, and with xG of 1.00/game, have not been effective to break through low blocks.With home leaves, San Lorenzo can sit deeper, and this may feature in their plan of hostility to a high-possession Racing team.

San Lorenzo: Lineup

Coach Ruben Insua is likely to stick to his chosen 4-3-3 line with its emphasis on the defensive stability and vertical counters. Lopez and Baez will play a major role in reaching the expansive regions whereas the burden of creativity is left to Tripichio, Peruzzi and Ratallino in mid field. The most probable forward trio is likely to be Cerutti, Reali and Cuello who will be charged with the responsibility of factorizing any gap left behind by the Racing backline.

� San Lorenzo starting lineup (4-3-3)

Gill – Lopez, Romana, Herrera, Baez – Tripichio, Peruzzi, Ratallino – Cerutti, Reali, Cuello
