San Lorenzo vs Platense Prediction: Can San Lorenzo continue their good form?

The match between San Lorenzo and Platense is perhaps the most awaited match from the 1/16 finals of Copa Argentina. Both teams are part of the best Argentinian league, but they are on different ends of it. San Lorenzo are having great season, they are in 3rd position in the league, they are in 1/8 finals of Copa Sudamericana and they have chance to win here and qualify for 1/8 finals of Copa Argentina. On the other hand, Platense are in middle of the table in domestic league in 16th place, and winning here will be huge success for them.

San Lorenzo lost in their last match in the league, but it doesn’t make much difference in the great season they are having. In this match even though it’s played on neutral ground, they are the favorite to win. In the last 5 matches, they have three wins, a draw, and a defeat. In the 1/32 finals, they confidently won against Sarmiento Resistencia 3:0. I expect that they will attack and control this match as well and win it in the regular time.

Platense also can’t be too disappointed with their season so far. They are in mid-table in the league and have a chance to proceed to the 1/8 finals of Copa Argentina. But their recent form isn’t very promising. In the last 5 matches, they have 3 defeats, a win, and a draw. In the previous round of Copa Argentina, they also had a tough opponent, but a little bit surprisingly they won easily 2:0 against Def. de Belgrano. However, San Lorenzo are a very different and stronger opponent, so it will be interesting to see how Platense will play against them.

Current form, quality of players and h2h stats between these teams are on San Lorenzo’s side. Still we can’t take away all the chances from Platense to make a little miracle and continue to the next round. In my opinion San Lorenzo will prove their quality and find a way to win against Platense in the regular time. Their schedule is getting busier as they will play in Copa Sudamericana next week, so they will try to end this match in the easiest way for them. I think home win and San Lorenzo to score over 1.5 goals are the best options for betting in this match.
