San Lorenzo’s nine home clean sheets put the key question to Platense

Can San Lorenzo make home defence count?

That is the clearest pre-match question. San Lorenzo have kept 9 clean sheets in 15 home games this league season, recording 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. Platense’s away record is 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses across 15 matches, with 5 clean sheets. Platense have scored 15 away goals and conceded 16, while San Lorenzo have scored 14 at home and conceded 15.

Recent form offers no simple answer

In the supplied 32-match sequences, San Lorenzo’s most recent three results are a draw, loss and loss. Platense’s latest three are a draw, win and win. That gives the visitors the stronger immediate sequence, but the home and away records provide the more relevant setting for this fixture.

Provisional Clausura positions and goal threat

In the provisional Clausura Group A standings, San Lorenzo are #9 with 19 points from 15 games, while Platense are #11 with 17 points from 15. San Lorenzo’s supplied scorer-chart reference is R. Auzmendi, with 7 goals and 2 assists in 30 appearances. Platense’s away total of 15 goals is the clearest team attacking measure available for this match.

At kickoff, can San Lorenzo’s 9 home clean sheets withstand Platense’s 15 away goals, with Auzmendi providing the hosts’ main named scoring threat?
