San Lorenzo and Huracán will meet again today at the Nuevo Gasómetro for the dispute of a classic that will put the pride of the neighborhood at stake and, in parallel, will have an impact on all fronts of competition in the Professional League Cup.
This interzonal match on the seventh date will be played from 4 p.m. with sold out seats, will be refereed by Pablo Echavarría (VAR by Lucas Novelli) and broadcast by TNT Sports.
Each classic is a matter of honor for Boedo and Parque de los Patricios, but also a test with emotional impact in the fight for each other’s objectives. In this case, illusion and morbidity are two condiments that strongly season the game in Pedro Bidegain.
The two share the mission of fighting for qualification to the quarterfinals of the League Cup and they differ in the bid they are carrying out in the accumulated table of the year. In it, San Lorenzo defends an access place to the 2024 Copa Libertadores and Huracán urgently pursues its distance from the relegation zone, which it inhabited until recently.
The result in Bajo Flores can affect any of these disputes and leave in the eventual winner and loser a determining mark for what is to come. Under that logic, Huracán assumes a greater risk because defeat would complicate his situation in the fight for permanence and could even take him down from the top of Zone A, to which he arrived driven by his good momentum.
Diego Martínez’s team, despite its uncomfortable situation with relegation, chained a series of eight victories in the last ten games with a collective performance that had its highest level in the recent win over Vélez Sarsfield (3-0 ).
San Lorenzo, in addition to being located in the Libertadores zone, is in the quarterfinals of the Argentine Cup, an event that will be played next Wednesday against San Martín de San Juan.
The “Azulgrana” year is from acceptable to good but the team’s current moment is not. In the League Cup, although it is undefeated, it has accumulated five consecutive draws and in the last two presentations, the 0-0 away games against Estudiantes and Tigre, it registered only two effective shots on the rival goal.
In the general statistics of the traditional Argentine soccer classics, San Lorenzo and Huracán are the most uneven, with an overwhelming difference in favor of the first. The “Ciclón” is 34 games ahead in Professionalism and 39 if those played in the amateur era are counted.
