Racing Aims for a Home Win Against San Lorenzo

Racing will face San Lorenzo on Friday, looking to end a losing streak at the Estadio Presidente Perón, as reported by Página/12. This match is part of the eighth round of the Clausura and is Racing’s last before they meet Vélez in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.

Gustavo Costas’s team is struggling, having lost all four home games this season. They have only gathered four points in Group A, placing them 14th and affecting their position in the annual standings, which is important for international qualifications.

Despite these challenges, Racing is still competing in other tournaments. They have advanced to the quarterfinals of both the Copa Argentina and Libertadores. They will play Vélez for the first leg on Tuesday, Sept. 16, making Friday’s league match a crucial test for their performance and morale ahead of that game.

On the other hand, San Lorenzo is having a better season, with 12 points putting them fourth in Group B. Last weekend, they managed a goalless draw against Huracán, despite having a player advantage for much of the match. Damián Ayude’s team is focused on the Clausura this term and is well-placed in the annual standings, keeping their hopes alive for next year’s Libertadores qualification.

The match will kick off at 7 p.m. local time at the Estadio Presidente Perón, and it will be broadcast on ESPN Premium.
