34-time champions Boca Juniors will be looking to kick-start their 2022 Argentine Primera Division campaign when they visit San Lorenzo on Saturday.
With six games in the books, Boca find themselves eleventh in the table – five points behind first-place Gimnasia.
Meanwhile, San Lorenzo occupy fifteenth place. Not only are they two points behind Boca, but they are also just three points clear of the bottom.
San Lorenzo have only managed to win one of their six league outings this season, recording four draws and one defeat along the way.
After kicking off their campaign with a five-game unbeaten streak, San Lorenzo suffered their first loss of the season last time out – going down 2-1 to Barracas Central.
When you look at the bigger picture, San Lorenzo have lost just one of their past nine Primera Division encounters.
However, they have only managed to win one of their previous six – meaning they will need to start turning draws into wins if they want to climb the table.
On the flip side, Boca Juniors have registered three wins and three losses this term. Remarkably, they are the only side that has yet to record a draw.
With 11 goals to their name, Boca are the joint-top scorers. But they have also conceded 11 goals, giving them the joint-worst defensive record.
Believe it or not, Boca Juniors have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last eight Primera Division clashes.
Given that each of their previous four league games have produced over 2.5 goals, Saturday match is destined to be a high-scoring affair.
Head-to-head: Both sides have won three of the last seven meetings, while the other meeting ended in a draw.
Each of the previous six meetings between San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors have dished up over 1.5 goals, so we should see plenty of action this weekend.
Team news: San Lorenzo look set to be without injured defensive midfielder Nestor Ortigoza on Saturday.
As for Boca Juniors, they currently have Diego Gonzalez, Agustin Almendra and Nicolas Figal sidelined through injury.
Boca Juniors have been one of Argentina’s most inconsistent teams this season, so Saturday’s showdown is expected to be a frenetic affair.
With that in mind, Forebet predicts that San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors will produce a high-scoring draw.
