San Lorenzo de Almagro will visit Independiente this Sunday at Estadio Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini for another edition of the Argentine football derby. Rubén Darío Insua has confirmed the starting XI that will face the Rojo in Avellaneda, with Devecchi in goal; Arboleda, Corujo, Amor and Tripichio in defense; Perruzzi, Insaurralde and Rodríguez Pagano in midfield; and Cuello, Auzmendi and Farías up front. Guzmán Corujo, aged 30, was selected by the coach over Alejo Córdoba to play as left centre-back, while Facundo Perruzzi returns after overcoming an ankle sprain and will share midfield duties with Juan Ignacio Insaurralde. Ezequiel Tripichio will occupy the right flank in place of Herrera, who was not considered for this match. El Ciclón arrives at the derby following a 1-0 victory over Talleres de Córdoba on September 5, with Adrián Cuello scoring the goal in the 63rd minute, a result that earned the team three valuable points in their campaign. Currently, San Lorenzo sits tenth in the Liga Profesional Argentina with 10 points from eight matches, comprising three wins, one draw and four losses, and a goal difference of -2 after scoring only three goals and conceding five. The Boedo-based side needs to improve its performance if it hopes to qualify for both the local tournament and an international cup, as it trails league leaders Vélez Sarsfield by seven points. This match is particularly significant because San Lorenzo’s last away win in a classic came in August 2022 against Racing at the Cilindro, also under Insua’s guidance, and since then the Ciclón has won just one of its last 26 derby encounters. Also, the coach has a history with Independiente, having previously managed the club before his return to San Lorenzo following the brief tenure of Pipo Gorosito, who lasted only eight games in charge. Insua expressed confidence in the selected lineup, stating: "If there’s no problem, tomorrow we’ll start with Devecchi; Arboleda, Corujo, Amor; Tripichio, Perruzzi, Insaurralde, Rodríguez Pagano; Cuello, Auzmendi and Farías". The team’s next fixture is precisely this derby against Independiente, corresponding to matchday nine of the Torneo Clausura 2026, after which they will face Boca Juniors at the Nuevo Gasómetro. San Lorenzo’s fans, known as los cuervos, hope this performance marks a positive turning point after a complex period both on and off the pitch, during which the club sought to recover politically and economically while improving sporting results.
