Barracas Central have an encounter with San Lorenzo on Sunday in a bid to push up the league table, with the teams currently level on points in the Argentine Primera Division.
The hosts have failed to record a victory in their previous four matches, while San Lorenzo head into the contest in the midst of a seven-game unbeaten streak.
Alfredo Berti’s side have found the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division a tricky one as they have been unable to win a single game in this section of the season.
The last five results have seen them drop down into 19th, with their defensive performances having been an issue throughout this campaign as they have conceded the most goals in the league at this stage.
Barracas were held to a 1-1 draw in their most recent game, which was an improvement on the 3-1 defeat that they suffered prior to that against Boca Juniors.
Having failed to win any of their previous five matches, there is pressure on the squad to get themselves back on track as they look to push further up the table.
Meanwhile, San Lorenzo are currently enjoying a great run of form as they are unbeaten in their previous seven matches, which is something they will be confident in continuing on Sunday.
Despite the run, they have not moved as far up the table as they could have done in that period due to the fact that they have drawn five of those matches.
One of the stalemates came last weekend when they had an encounter with Tigre, but it was a positive one for San Lorenzo as they fought from behind, with an equaliser from Adam Bareiro coming in the 69th minute from the penalty spot to force a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw.
Barracas Central vs San Lorenzo head to head
The two teams have previously met on one occasion in the Copa Argentina in 2012, where San Lorenzo won away through penalty shootouts after a 1-1 draw. They now meet for the second time in a competitive match in the Argentine Primera Division.

Barracas Central news
Dylan Glaby could be an option for Barracas Central this weekend if Alfredo Berit wants to put him into the team, as he will make a return from suspension.
Nicolas Ferreyra and Pablo Mouche are still searching for their first goal of the second round, and they will be hoping for a change on Sunday.
San Lorenzo news
Adam Bareiro is expected to be starting for San Lorenzo as he has recently found fine run of form personally, proving to be a real goal threat for the visitors.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the pitch, they will likely continue to operate with just three at the back.
Prediction and Odds
There might be very little to separate these two teams in terms of points at the moment, but their form is largely different and the confidence they both bring in will reflect that.
We expect the visitors to continue their unbeaten run here, but there is also a possibilty of a draw.
Odds: 1 2.30 X 2.05 2 2.15
