San Lorenzo and Liverpool return to action in the Copa Libertadores when they lock horns at the Estadio Pedro Bidegain on Thursday. Both sides are currently tied on four points in Group F and we anticipate an action-packed contest as they look to strengthen their stake for a place in the knockout stages.
San Lorenzo continued to struggle for results as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Deportivo Riestra in the new Argentine Primera Division opener last weekend.
Leandro Romagnoli’s men have failed to win seven of their last eight matches across all competitions, losing five and claiming three draws since late March.
San Lorenzo now turn their attention to the Copa Libertadores, where they have failed to win their opening three matches, claiming one point from nine available in Group F, before securing a much-needed 2-0 victory over Independiente de Valle on May 9.
