Heartbreaking: A very loyal San LORENZO has announced his sudden retirement, sending a powerful statement and bidding the team and supporters a heartfelt farewell.
Our South American expert Nathan Joyes, who is available to offer his San Lorenzo vs. Palmeiras prediction, team news, lineups, and fixtures preview, is back for the 2024 Copa Libertadores group stage.
The teams haven’t played since 2019, when they each pulled off a 1-0 victory at home. If we had to risk everything for a result, we would want Palmeiras to win 1-0.
Following a four-year hiatus, San Lorenzo makes a triumphant return to the Libertadores group stage; the Argentine group has made a strong domestic debut.
They have won their last four home games by a score of nil heading into their biggest test of the season, with Facundo Altamirano shining in between the sticks.
After joining from MLS team Austin as a center-back, Jhohan Romana has significantly tightened their defense.
Being among the strongest teams in the league, Palmeiras is a strong favorite to win the trophy in November. Any points San Lorenzo wins over the Brazilians will guarantee them a spot in the next round.
They won’t, however, want to begin with a loss, so both sides should adopt a more cautious stance.
Palmeiras made it to the final of the Paulista this season thanks to their stellar play, and they have only let up two goals in their previous five games.
Because there is plenty of juice for both of these teams, they might just cancel each other out.
