San Lorenzo take on the visitors Central Cordoba in the round 20 match of Liga Professional. The match will be played on Monday, June 12th at Estadio Pedro Bidegain (Buenos Aires).
San Lorenzo have been crowned national champions 12 times. However, the last time was in 2013. In the following seasons, they managed to win the Argentine Super Cup and, most notably, the Copa Libertadores. However, they haven't been able to achieve anything significant since then, and considering the recent tournaments, finishing in 6th place in 2022 was considered a respectable success. This allowed the team to compete in the Copa Sudamericana again. But after starting with a victory against Estudiantes de Merida, they couldn't secure any more wins. This week also failed to bring any positive changes as they ended with a goalless draw against Palestino. However, they have been performing well in their home stadium, including a confident run in the cup, although their opponent was relatively unknown. Moreover, in the league, the "blue and garnet" team has only lost three times while winning six out of 19 matches, which places them among the top three teams. It should be noted that May ended with a 0-1 defeat against Barracas Central, and June started with a 0-0 draw at home against Colon.

Central Cordoba climbed from the 3rd division of Argentina in 2018. The following year, they won the playoffs, securing their return to the top league after nearly half a century, specifically 48 years. Currently, the club from Santiago del Estero is not particularly achieving remarkable results there; their primary goal is to avoid relegation. In the previous season, they finished in 22nd place out of 28 participating teams. The new championship started with a difficult period, earning only 1 point in the first four matches. However, they significantly improved their performance since the end of winter, with four victories in six matches. Afterwards, the black and white team alternated between relatively successful periods and failures. In April-May, they suffered four defeats in six matches, with their only victory coming against Instituto. But then they secured a 3-0 victory in the cup against a team called Comunicaciones, followed by a 2-2 draw against Colon and a 2-0 home win against Huracan in the league. This allowed them to rise to the middle of the table, occupying the 15th position.
The clubs first played against each other in 2019, with Central Cordoba winning, and they repeated this result in 2021. However, San Lorenzo has won twice since then. The home team is considered the clear favorite, but they still need to prove their status, which could pose some difficulties. We recommend betting on the outcome of "over 1.5 goals" in this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 1.5 scored goals.
