San Lorenzo vs Talleres Cordoba

San Lorenzo welcome Talleres Cordoba in the eighth round of the Liga Profesional Argentina Clausura on September 5, 2026. The fixture pits two of the competition’s underperforming heavyweights against one another, with the hosts sitting 12th on seven points and Talleres second-bottom after a deeply disappointing start.

San Lorenzo Form Guide

San Lorenzo’s Clausura campaign has yet to ignite. After six league outings they have managed just two wins — a return that leaves them with a negative goal difference and already playing catch-up on the leading pack. The attacking numbers are stark: only two goals scored across those six fixtures, while they have conceded four. A look at the broader year’s form offers some comfort; across the full season the Ciclón have lost only once in their last six, recording wins and draws that kept them mid-table in the overall standings. That resilience is what head coach Leandro Romagnoli will demand on home soil, where San Lorenzo have historically made life difficult for travelling sides.

Talleres Cordoba Team News and Injury Latest

Jorge Sampaoli’s side travel to the capital anchored to the bottom of the Clausura standings with five points from seven matches. A 0-0 home draw against Central Córdoba (Santiago del Estero) on August 29 extended a trying run that has yielded only one win from seven attempts. Sampaoli has named several regulars in recent matchday squads, with players such as G. Báez at left-back and J. Sforza featuring from the bench, but no fresh injury or suspension concerns have been confirmed. Talleres have found goals hard to come by, registering four strikes and shipping eight at the other end during this phase — a sharp contrast to a squad built to challenge for continental places.

Head-to-Head Context

Recent league meetings between these clubs provide little clear edge, with domestic results over the last few campaigns typically settled by a single goal or ending all square. Talleres have occasionally enjoyed productive visits to Bajo Flores, but their current Clausura form — a solitary win banked in early August before a run of three defeats in four — places them under significant pressure heading into this clash. San Lorenzo, for their part, have been more organised than spectacular, a pattern reflected in the combined goal tally of their Clausura fixtures so far.
