Player to watch: Edinson Cavani
While the experienced Uruguayan forward has yet to score in Primera Division this season, he is the team's top scorer in Copa Sudamericana with three goals in four matches. He also scored six goals for Boca Juniors in Copa de la Liga Profesional.
Can Cavani score from a free kick?
It's a small sample, but Cavani already scored once from a direct free kick in Copa Sudamericana. Will we see that again in this match?
