San Lorenzo will be looking to continue their two-game winning streak when they travel to the Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo Peron to face Racing Club on Wednesday night.
From finishing the campaign as runners-up last season to hovering in mid-table this campaign, Racing Club have found it difficult to replicate the heroics of the previous campaign. The Buenos Aires-based club were riding on a 4-game losing streak in the month of April and May pushing them down the table.
Despite their struggles, Racing Club have picked up a bit of momentum in their previous two encounters and with the teams above them narrowly packed on points, they have the perfect opportunity to climb up a few spots.
Their shambolic record of conceding 30 goals in 22 games is a major reason for their downfall but considering San Lorenzo has often found it difficult to register themselves on the scoresheet, Fernando Gago will be hoping to produce an upset in front of their faithful.
The Saints are enjoying an impeccable campaign in Argentina's top division sitting on the third spot tied on points with Tallarez and they'll look to leapfrog the latter with a win on Wednesday. Winless before Saturday's clash against Rosario Central, the 1-0 victory at the Estadio Pedro Bidegain will give the away side massive confidence entering into the contest.
Next Match
Despite scoring just 21 goals this season ( the lowest in the competition), Ruben Insua's men boast of a scintillating defensive record having conceded just eight goals in 22 games. An extension to this brilliant record could see them close the gap to league leaders River Plate to just 6 points and write another fairytale for themselves.

Team news & squads
Racing Club team news
Racing Club are on the verge of welcoming Emiliano Vecchio after the midfielder has been sidelined since October 2022 owing to an ACL injury. The midfielder is scheduled to return to action in the first week of July and could prove to be a massive addition for the club before their clash against San Lorenzo.
Another absentee for Racing Club would be Johan Carbonero who has been out of action for a large part of the campaign. The winger suffered a cruciate ligament injury and will be sidelined until early November.
Racing Club's manager, Fernando Gago, seems to have found the perfect balance in his backline as they are yet to concede in their previous two games and could look to continue with the same defensive line against San Lorenzo.
Racing Club probable XI: Tagliamonte; Mura, Aviles, Piovi; Nardoni, Moreno, Gomez, Rojas; Oroz, Romero, Hauche
