The match will be played at 16:00 with arbitration by Andrés Merlos and broadcast by TNT Sports.

After a goalless draw on Tuesday’s away match in Godoy Cruz de Mendoza, San Lorenzo will look to repeat the success of their previous home game from a week ago, when they achieved a 10-game unbeaten run against their closest rival, L ‘Huracán.
