After only winning one point in the first three rounds of Copa Libertadores, San Lorenzo have won the last couple of games and now they're in a good position to reach the next stage. To achieve this, they either have to avoid a loss to Palmeiras or hope for a draw in the game between Independiente del Valle and Liverpool. They could could even go through with other results, but it might then come down to goal difference.
Meanwhile, Facundo Altamirano is currently the only injured player at the club.

Player to watch: Raphael Veiga
With two goals and three assists in Copa Libertadores this season, Raphael Veiga has been the most consistent performer for Palmeiras, at least on the offensive end.
Will Veiga score from a penalty?
While Veiga has yet to score from the penalty spot in Serie A or Copa Libertadores this seasons, he's the team's designated penalty taker and quite confident one at that.
