On Wednesday night, Estudiantes and San Lorenzo clash at the Estadio Unico Diego Armando Maradona in a big capital derby in the Argentinian Primera Division.
The home team had been on a good run of form until a 1-0 defeat at Colon last time out ended a 16-game unbeaten run in all competitions, with 11 of those unbeaten games coming in the Argentinian top-flight.
Their recent league outings haven’t been particularly high-scoring in recent months, as five of the last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
The recent decent run of league form has seen Estudiantes move up to fourth place in the table, just two points behind their third-place opponents.
Estudiantes have been strong on home soil of late in the Primera Division, as they are unbeaten in their last eight home league games, having recorded six victories.
A key to that good home record has been a solid backline, as they have conceded just two goals in their unbeaten home run.
Ruben Insua’s team has been in underwhelming form of late, as they are currently on a five-game winless streak in all competitions. However, their last three matches have all ended in goalless draws.
In fact, goals have been in short supply in recent months in San Lorenzo games, as 12 of their previous 14 matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Their strong defensive displays have been a big factor in those low-scoring encounters, as they have kept clean sheets in eight of their previous 11 games in all competitions.
That solid defence has made San Lorenzo difficult to beat in the Primera Division of late, as they have lost just one of their last 12 matches in the Argentinian top flight.
