San Lorenzo's optimism and confidence are on the rise

The impressive victory achieved in the South, against Lanús, renewed the hope in a team that remains solid in the qualifying zone for the 2019 Copa Libertadores. In the case of defeating Independiente this Wednesday, they will become Boca's second place, just 8 points behind.

Although they didn't shine in the game, the Cyclone had enough strength to defeat Granate on Sunday. And their striker, Nicolás Blandi, who scored the first goal with a spectacular scissor kick, played a crucial role in their effectiveness. However, Claudio Biaggio is concerned as the striker ended up with a strong blow to his left leg, although it is not a serious injury and he will be a starter this Wednesday against the Rojo.

On the other hand, the Chilean Paulo Díaz will be able to reappear as the right back, replacing Marcos Angeleri. Meanwhile, they hope for Leandro Romagnoli to recover after playing 65 minutes in La Fortaleza. In any case, Gabriel Gudiño would enter the field.

With this situation, the starting eleven would be: Nicolás Navarro; Díaz, Coloccini, Matías Caruzzo, and Gabriel Rojas; Romagnoli or Gudiño, Franco Moyano, Piris Da Motta, and Cristian Barrios; Blandi and Nicolás Reniero.
