San Lorenzo de Almagro hosts Unión at the Nuevo Gasómetro with history on their side. The team, currently 15th in the Liga Profesional Argentina with 3 points (1W-0D-3L) and a goal difference of -3, aims to improve their campaign. Meanwhile, Unión's coach Leonardo Madelón arrives with an unfavorable statistic: in 16 matches as a manager, he has only one win against San Lorenzo.
Madelón, who debuted professionally with San Lorenzo in 1982, has a special connection with the club. However, his record as a coach is not favorable: 10 draws, 5 losses, and just one victory (1-0 with Quilmes in 2010). Additionally, Unión hasn't won at the Nuevo Gasómetro since November 20, 2011, adding pressure to the encounter.
San Lorenzo comes into this match after a 2-1 loss to Central Córdoba and urgently needs points. With only 3 points from 4 games (recent form LLWLL), they are 7 points behind league leaders Vélez Sarsfield. The visit of Unión, who are also struggling, could be an opportunity to turn things around.
Unión, who lost their last home game, will look to exploit San Lorenzo's defensive weaknesses (4 goals conceded). Madelón, with his experience at the club, will try to implement a tactical plan to secure a win. However, history and their poor record at the Nuevo Gasómetro do not bode well for a positive result.
