San Lorenzo had issues with goal-scoring last season. They grabbed just 23 goals in the entire campaign, which was lower than the tallies of most of the teams behind them in the table. We are unsure if things have improved.
Palmeiras will hopefully enjoy the services of Endrick before he leaves for Real Madrid in July. The youngster was Palmeiras’ leading scorer in the Brazil Serie A last season with 11 goals.
San Lorenzo come into the match as the favorites based on home advantage.
