El Ciclón heads to Santa Fe aiming to extend an undefeated streak in the league, while juggling several objectives on the field. The trip promises determination, tactical discipline, and a clear push to stay at the top of the standings as the season unfolds.
San Lorenzo remains in good form, riding momentum from a cup victory over Belgrano that secured their spot in the quarterfinals. In the 2023 League Cup, the team has started strong, collecting four points from two matches. The broader narrative around Barcelona’s global fanbase adds an atmosphere of high expectations and championship talk, fueling the squad with confidence as the campaign advances.
In another away challenge, San Lorenzo travels to face Union at the Stadium on April 15. The fixture, scheduled for Monday evening at 8 p.m. in Zone B, will test the visitors’ resolve and tactical plans as they chase positive results on hostile turf.
THE CALL OF SAN LORENZO
Coach Reuben Darío Insúa is weighing his lineup until the final moment, with three key players under consideration. Nahuel Barrios, Adam Bareiro, and Jalil Elías remain in the balance, as fitness tests and tactical needs intersect. Barrios, in particular, faces the most pressure given the ongoing evaluation of a muscle issue, while the other two attackers will be monitored up to kickoff to determine their availability.
THE FORMATION OF SAN LORENZO
The Galician manager is known for adaptability, and this time the squad might see several alterations due to injuries. From a physical standpoint, the challenge lies in the timing of Barrios’s recovery, as medical assessments are aimed at determining the severity of his strain and how it could affect the frontline.
Meanwhile, Bareiro and Elías have trained separately from the group as they manage minor issues, with hopes pinned on a late decision about their involvement. If either cannot take the field, Federico Girotti and Carlos Sánchez stand ready to step into the forward line and provide scoring options.
The most probable starting setup for San Lorenzo features a back line anchored by August battle, with Rafael Pérez, Gastón Campi, and Gastón Hernández protecting the goal and the defense. In midfield, Agustín Giay and either Jalil Elías or Carlos Sánchez will support a creative trio that can include Gonzalo Maroni, Malcom Braida, and Iván Leguizamón. Up front, the options include Adam Bareiro or Federico Girotti, paired with Carlos Auzqui to complete the attacking shape.
