Estudiantes L.P. host San Lorenzo on Sunday evening at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi in what shapes up as one of the closer matchups Matchday 13 has to offer. Both sides occupy ninth and tenth place respectively in the Liga Profesional Argentina, Clausura, separated by nothing more than goal difference after 12 matches apiece.
Estudiantes L.P. sit ninth with four wins, two draws and six defeats, having scored 15 goals and conceded 13. San Lorenzo are directly below them in tenth, sharing the same four wins, two draws and six defeats, though their goal record reads 5 scored and 11 conceded. Both clubs carry 14 points.
Recent form is equally matched. Estudiantes L.P. have taken 7 points from their last five matches, a run that includes wins over Gimnasia M. and Platense, a draw with Central Cordoba de Santiago, and defeats against Lanus and Velez Sarsfield. San Lorenzo have also accumulated 7 points across their last five outings, winning against Deportivo Riestra and Talleres Cordoba, drawing with Independiente, and losing to Defensa Y Justicia and Boca Juniors.
The only meeting between these sides in the current calendar came on 3 April 2026, when San Lorenzo won 1-0. That result gives the away side a recent head-to-head advantage as they travel to La Plata.
With 30 teams in the table and both clubs already in the top third, Sunday's match carries real weight in terms of positioning. The points gap between the two sides stands at zero, and the closeness of their respective records — in both the full table and recent form — makes this a fixture where the margins are narrow throughout.
