San Lorenzo vs Atlético-MG Soccer Prediction Today
San Lorenzo
Argentines also did not have a happy weekend. Although it was not a confrontation worth title, they were run over, at home, by Godoy Cruz. They took 5 to 0 in match by the twenty-second round of the local Superliga season 2017/2018. This interrupted an undefeated five-game series (three wins, two draws).
The result caused a double loss. The team not only lost the chance to approach Boca Juniors, the leader, who had been defeated the day before, as he lost second place in the standings for Godoy Cruz. With 42 points (12 wins, six draws and four defeats), he was one point behind Godoy and maintained the eight-point deficit compared to Boca Juniors.
To get the reaction, coach Gustavo Quinteros can count on two new options. Fernando Belluschi’s socks (15 games in the 2017/2018 Argentine Championship, two goals) and Fagundo Quignon (15 games without a goal) still depend on a new evaluation from the medical department to see if they can be available.
Atlético-MG
Although it was not by thrashing, the defeat of Atletico-MG was more suffered. After scoring 3-1 in the first leg of the Campeonato Mineiro’s decision against Cruzeiro, he took 2-0 at Mineirão on Sunday, April 8, and saw his rival win the state tournament cup.
The defeat, however, was justified by many by the arbitration. The main responsible for charges of fouls and cornerbacks, midfielder Otero was sent off after 22 minutes of the first half after conflict with right-back Cruzeiro, Edilson, who received only a yellow card. In the end, the Rooster still had Patric expelled by finishing the game with two less athletes.
The expulsions have no effect on Wednesday’s clash. Both Otero and Patric could be used by coach Thiago Larghi, if he so wishes. The effect of the defeat in the classic will be more in relation to the mood of the players, who saw in the tournament the best chance of winning a title in the season.
The loss of the title also made the situation of Larghi more delicate, who was put on the job as interim after the resignation of Oswaldo Oliveira at the beginning of the season and ended up remaining after the club received a series of negative answers in its attempts to hire a new technician. However, at least on Wednesday he should remain in charge.

It will be difficult for the Atleticoans to recover from a suffered and exhausting defeat to Cruzeiro in a short period of time. Adding to that, the fact that San Lorenzo can play in their domains makes the Argentines the best guessing option for Wednesday’s showdown.
