San Martin San Juan (LWLLW)

In their last outing, San Martín S.J. lost out 0-1 at Instituto away. Even with their defensive setup and share of possession even—with 41—screens, they were unable to create anything offensively, registering just four shots, and one on target over the 90. Much of the play belonged to the home side, who enjoyed 17 total shots in defence. Afterwards Zalazar scored in the 87th minute for Instituto who eventually broke through. Attacking quality was identified by the xG (Expected Goals) stats, as Instituto had 1.34 while San Martín had 0.27. Despite doing well to absorb pressure, San Martín’s defensive shape did well but will be concerned about their lack of goalscoring threat as they return home in search of a turnaround.

San Lorenzo (DWDLW)

San Lorenzo arrive in this match after a 1-1 draw at home to Lanús. The first half was a balanced match and San Lorenzo went in front on the 65th minute through Muniain. Nevertheless, they could not keep hold of it and the equalizer was conceded just 17 minutes later. San Lorenzo played well in transition though they had less shots (12 vs. Lanús’ 18) and less possession (46% vs the home side’s 54%). That being said, it was Lanús who fashioned the more menacing opportunities, with 1.72xG to San Lorenzo’s 1.02. The hosts also had to play out the final bit of the match with ten, as a red card had to be played on the hosts. However, they got away with a draw. This could also be vital in determining whether they’re able to stay competitive even when they’re under pressure, in this upcoming away fixture.
