These teams met only three times thus far - twice in 2025 and once in 2024. Both teams won one duel, and both times with a 1:0 home victory.
Regarding the number of goals, we saw only low-scoring games. All three matches ended with fewer than 1.5 goals!
Deportivo Riestra team overview
Deportivo Riestra had a surprisingly great last year, finishing 5th in Apertura and 3rd in Clausura. This year, the Black-and-Whites are nowhere near last season as they are in 14th place (out of 15) with only six points in 10 rounds. Currently, they are the only team without a win, and a match against struggling San Lorenzo could be the perfect opportunity to secure their first.
In the previous game against Central Córdoba, coach Gustavo Benítez received a red card and will serve a touchline ban. Additionally, striker Nicolas Benegas will serve his one-game suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards. When it comes to injuries, the team should have no new ones, but the players who missed the previous games should remain sidelined - Tovo Eric and Mariano Gaston Bracamonte.

San Lorenzo team overview
San Lorenzo, the Argentinian 15-time champions, haven't won a major title in over a decade. However, despite the lack of results, they are considered one of the better teams in Argentina. In 2025, they finished 4th in Apertura and 5th in Clasura. Unfortunately, they are not playing well this year and are sitting in 10th place with 13 points from 10 rounds. Due to the poor season thus far, the club sacked coach Damian Ayude on 17th March and appointed Alan Capobianco as caretaker manager. Under the new head coach, the team started with a win, beating Dep. Rincon 5:0 in the Copa Argentina. However, that win came against a third-tier team, and it will be interesting to see if they can continue with good results in Liga Profesional.
Winger Agustin Ladstatter will serve his suspension after receiving a red card in the previous league game against Defensa y Justicia. However, the 20-year-old hasn't been good this season, and his absence could, in fact, be a good thing. When it comes to injuries, the team shouldn't have any new ones, but Daniel Herrera, Gaston Hernandez, Diego Herazo, Ezequiel Cerutti, and Nahuel Arias should remain sidelined.

Prediction
Deportivo Riestra have been excellent for this type of bet, as five of the past six games have ended in draws. On the other hand, San Lorenzo drew three of the past five games and drew the past three road matches. Moreover, combined in the league, these teams drew in ten out of 20 matches - an incredible 50%!
Also, Deportivo Riestra are playing a super-defensive style of football, and that often results in goalless draws. Before the latest loss to Central Cordoba (1:0), Deportivo Riestra had four consecutive goalless draws.
Considering all the above, we believe that a draw is the most likely outcome for this Liga Profesional tie.
