Boedo’s team is going all out in their match against Independiente del Valle. In between, an atypical context for the Barça people that will make it more difficult than it should to get to Pedro Bidegain due to the transport strike that will take place this Thursday. However, this will be far from depriving the San Lorenzo fan of filling the New Gasometer.
From the club they arranged buses with different meeting points for people to arrive. And from the people’s side, a Barça welcome is being prepared to match the situation to accompany the team.
The truth is that San Lorenzo needs the three points and has no other option. They come to this match accumulating a streak of six games without knowing victory (3 losses and 3 draws) and will seek to break it at a time when they need it more than ever.
They currently arrive last in the table after the defeat against Liverpool in Uruguay and are with only one point, three behind the Uruguayans and the Ecuadorians, who are fighting for second place to qualify for the round of 16. Further away in first position and with seven points, Palmeiras appears.
For this new night of the Copa Libertadores, and hoping that it will not be the last for San Lorenzo in this edition, Leandro Romagnoli sought throughout the week to give his team a workout with soccer practices to arrive fully prepared for this duel.
Therefore, with respect to the last eleven that stopped in Uruguay against Liverpool, it is preparing three modifications and with two players who had caused a stir for being relegated in the Insua cycle. Eric Remedi will replace Francisco Perruzzi in midfield and Alexis Cuello enters the eleven instead of Tobías Medina.
The other change is the entry of Iván Leguizamón by Gonzalo Luján, who will leave the right back to Agustín Giay so that “Legui” can be the winger on the right. Thus, Pipi will propose a clear 4-2-3-1, the scheme of their preference.
Moving on to the squad list, the Barça coach will have a more than special return like that of Cristian Ferreira, who returns after a month of physical discomfort that finally required time for a tear.
The team?: Facundo Altamirano; Agustín Giay, Jhohan Romaña, Gastón Campi, Malcom Braida; Eric Remedi, Elián Irala; Alexis Cuello, Nahuel Barrios, Iván Leguizamón and Adam Bareiro.
The list of summoned:
On the other hand, the Ecuadorian team led by the Argentine Javier Gandolfi arrives. Independiente del Valle accumulates two consecutive victories in the Ecuadorian tournament and in the international arena it has just lost against Palmeiras at home, which turned the game around 3 to 2 when it beat it 2-1.
San Lorenzo arrives with a more than important rest because it has not played for more than two weeks and its rival played this Sunday and with all the starters. For this match, the Ecuadorian team will not have Junior Sornoza, their number 10 who scored a penalty and was injured in the match against San Lorenzo. From there, he still has not been able to recover from his injury.
The team?: Moisés Ramírez; Anthony Landázuri, Mateo Carabajal, Richard Schunke, Beder Caicedo; Julio Joao Ortiz; Renato Ibarra, Kendry Páez, Cristian Zabala, Romario Ibarra; Michael Hoyos.
