The classic between “Xeneizes” and “Cuervos” takes them in a difficult week, one with the elimination of the Copa Libertadores in the round of 16 and the other after having given up their undefeated record against Barracas Central, with some unresolved internal fronts due to the lack of reinforcements that worries his coach Ruben Dario Insua.
Boca won three games and lost another three, the last two consecutively and at home, against Unión (2-1) and Banfield (3-0), in commitments that it assumed with substitute formations to prioritize the Libertadores.
So with 9 points and not so far behind Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata and Newell’s Old Boys, both with 14, Boca needs to add to catch on in the fight for the title.
San Lorenzo (7), for its part, obtained mixed results with one win, four draws and last week’s loss against Barracas Central (2-1) that exposed shortcomings shown in the previous semester and generated discomfort in Insúa due to the lack of reinforcements.
San Lorenzo will try to assert his “paternity” over Boca to break several negative marks that he drags as a result of repeated bad campaigns.
In that sense, the “Ciclón” accumulates 10 games without winning in the New Gasometer since beating Newell’s Old boys (3-2) on December 12 of last year, and it has also been more than five years since they celebrated a classic, since he beat River 2-1 with goals from Nicolás Blandi and Paulo Díaz, on June 4, 2017.
The topic of the classics is a stigma that haunts San Lorenzo since of the last 14 they played, they tied 11 and lost three, and a Boca beaten in the mood and without its DT is presented as an unbeatable occasion.
Boedo’s team rules in the history of 200 games with 75 wins against 73 of the “Xeneizes”, while they drew 52 times and there was a game that both clubs were considered lost.
