Saint Lawrencelooking for its final take-off in Professional football championship (LPF), will face a challenging test today in Paraná when visiting a revitalized Patronage, which fights for its continuity in the highest category, in a match corresponding to the 13th. Date.
The match at the Presbítero Bartolomé Grella stadium, which will have “neutral” fans, will begin at 9:30 pm with the arbitration of Nazareno Arasa and broadcast by ESPN Premium.
The “cyclone” Ruben Insua could not resist the last round against the substitutes Estudiantes de La Plata (0-0), which represented a frustration after the great triumph over the hour against Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal.
A victory last Sunday at the Nuovo Gasometro, stronghold where he only won one game a year, would have allowed him to place himself in the LPF top batch with expectations. He is currently in twelfth place with 17 points, one less than his rival tomorrow (8th).
Patronato, last in the medium rankings, faces the difficult mission of maintaining the category, a goal for which hopes have increased due to the team’s reaction in the last few games. Three victories in the last five dates, including a beat by Boca Juniors (3-0), and the recent qualification to the quarter-finals of the Copa Argentina have bolstered their morale.
The history for the championship records six clashes with three wins for San Lorenzo and three draws, even if in the League Cup Entre Ríos won this year in the New Gasometer.
