San Lorenzo is eager for victory as they prepare to face Gimnasia in La Plata. In one of the standout matches of the day, El Ciclón seeks the win that eluded them in last Saturday’s classic against Huracán. So far in the tournament, they have yet to secure a victory, with two draws and three losses behind them. While gearing up for the Round of 16 in the Copa Libertadores against Atlético Mineiro, coach Pipi Romagnoli faces an important challenge on the domestic front. Meanwhile, Marcello Méndez’s Gimnasia, who started the season strong, will need to show resilience after their recent defeat against Independiente Rivadavia.
The match will take place at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo at 18:45, with Pablo EcheverrÃa officiating. Fans can catch the game on ESPN Premium.
In Rosario, Newell’s Old Boys will clash with Independiente Rivadavia. Both teams are coming off victories, with Newell’s winning dramatically against Barracas Central and aiming to carry that momentum into their home game. This will be Sebastián Méndez’s first home game as the team’s head coach. Meanwhile, the visitors from Mendoza have fulfilled their obligations against Gimnasia, but they must remain vigilant as they sit at the bottom of the average points table, currently at risk of relegation.
The match is set for 18:45 at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa, with Hernán Mastrángelo as the referee. It will be broadcast on TNT Sports.
The opening match of the seventh round of the Liga Profesional saw Riestra claim victory over Argentinos Juniors with a 2-0 score. Pablo Guede’s team aimed to secure three points after a disappointing return to play in La Paternal. However, they faced a setback as Erik Godoy was sent off early in the game, reducing Argentinos to ten men. Despite protests from the Argentinos side regarding the decision, the referee stood by his ruling.
In the second half, Riestra managed to break the deadlock through a fast counterattack, culminating in a goal from Antony Daniel Alonso Espinoz. Late in the game, as Argentinos pressed for an equalizer, Gonzalo Bravo secured Riestra’s victory with a well-timed shot, ignoring another appeal for offside.
This match took place at Guillermo Laza Stadium, with Andrés Merlos officiating and available to watch on ESPN Premium.
