San Lorenzo certainly made a great success by placing in the eighth finals of the Copa Libertadores, so everything after that will be a real premium for the Argentinian representative. By the way, this team has been playing very badly lately, so in the last five matches in the championship, this team achieved only one triumph, one defeat, and even three draws, which is currently enough for a disastrous 25th place in the table. In the last round, San Lorenzo were defeated at their stadium by Atletico Tucuman, and that duel ended with a score of 0:1. However, this season in Copa Libertadores they are unbeaten at home, and they hope to continue that good run in front of their fans.

Atletico MG are considered to be one of the main candidates for the very end of the Copa Libertadores, and for that to happen, this team must first eliminate Argentina's San Lorenzo, which of course will not be an easy task. If we look back at Brazilian Serie A, at the moment Atletico are in ninth place in the table and it is already clear that nothing will come of the fight for the Brazilian championship title again. By the way, in the last round, the former champion of Brazil only drew away at Cruzeiro 0:0.

The general impression is that the Brazilian team is the favorite in this two-match duel, but it should also be said that San Lorenzo, due to very bad games in the Argentine championship, have currently submitted everything to the Copa Libertadores, and this competition is their main goal until the end of the season, and it really seems that even in this first meeting, the Argentine team will not experience defeat. These teams played 2 times so far San Lorenzo won at home 1:0 and in Brazil it was 0:0. In this match, same as before we can’t expect many goals from these teams.
