This Friday, San Lorenzo will host Deportivo Riestra for the 14th matchday of the Clausura Tournament in a match that could be crucial for defining playoff qualification. The encounter, scheduled for 19:00, will take place at the Pedro Bidegain stadium and can be watched on ESPN Premium. The referee will be Pablo Echavarría, while José Carreras will be in charge of VAR. San Lorenzo arrives at this match in sixth place in Zone B with 19 points, so a victory could secure them a playoff spot, provided that a series of results occurs where several teams do not manage to win all three points. In the last matchday, the 'Cyclone' achieved a valuable victory against Atlético Tucumán, defeating them 2-1 away from home. Led by Damián Ayude, the team is also fighting for a spot in next year's international cups, as they are eighth in the annual table and would be qualifying for the 2026 Copa Sudamericana. Deportivo Riestra, for its part, is having a dream campaign and leads Zone B alongside Rosario Central, with 27 points each. The team coached by Gustavo Benítez is also fighting for a place in next year's Copa Libertadores, as they are fifth in the annual table with 51 points and are very close to Boca and River, who are second and third, respectively.
