San Lorenzo vs Belgrano Prediction: Derby of the 1/8 finals in Copa Argentina

The last match of Copa Argentina for this week is probably the most interesting between San Lorenzo and Belgrano. The match will be played in neutral location in Santa Fe on stadium “15 de Abril”. San Lorenzo are slight favorite, but both teams are equal and in neutral location they both have equal chances for proceeding forward. San Lorenzo played more matches recently and they were knocked out of Copa Sudamericana by Sao Paulo which may have some impact on players in this knock out match.

San Lorenzo

Form: DWLWL

San Lorenzo had a great season in the league and finished in 3rd place with 12 wins, 10 draws, and 5 defeats. However earlier this month they were knocked out of Copa Sudamericana by Sao Paulo and it deeply disappointed their fans. They started their campaign in Copa de la Liga Profesional with a great win against Lanus away but then played draws against Belgrano at home. In the last 5 matches, they have 2 wins, a draw, and 2 defeats. In the previous round, they defeated Platense 1:0, and Belgrano are a much better and more difficult opponent. 

Belgrano

Form: DWWDL

Belgrano were 13th in the league with 10 wins, 6 draws, and 11 defeats. Their form dropped as the season went by, but in Copa Argentina, they managed to reach 1/8 finals with disciplined and tactical football. In the last round they won against Claypole 1:0 and they can be pleased with the way they started in Copa de la Liga Profesional as they have a win and a draw in 2 matches played. Their recent form is not so bad as they have 2 wins, 2 draws, and a defeat in the last 5 matches.

Expert Betting Tips

Just a few days ago these teams met in a match of Copa de la Liga Profesional, and Belgrano were close to win, but Bareiro made it 2:2 with a late goal. Belgrano’s fans certainly have every right to hope for the best in this duel. San Lorenzo’s main focus is also on Copa Argentina and I believe that this match will be very different from their previous from a few days ago. Both teams will be more careful, but I think that they will manage to score at least a goal each.
