San Lorenzo vs Liverpool Match Analysis & Prediction


17/05/2024 3:00 am


San Lorenzo and Liverpool will meet at Estadio Pedro Bidegain on Friday, with both sides requiring a win to boost their hopes of reaching the Copa Libertadores knockout stages.
A 2-0 home victory against Independiente del Valle saw San Lorenzo leapfrog Liverpool into third position in Group F with four points, while the Uruguayns slipped to the bottom of the section after a 5-0 defeat to group leaders Palmeiras.
San Lorenzo’s start to the campaign was sluggish, with two defeats and a draw in their opening three matches, but they ultimately secured their first win of the competition on matchday four, reigniting their qualification hopes.
That win propelled them level on points with second-placed Independiente del Valle, but they only hold onto third having scored fewer goals even though they have a simlar goal difference.
A win over Liverpool on Friday would put the Argentine side in a strong position heading into the final group-stage match, as Independiente del Valle travel to face group leaders Palmeiras.
However, the Saints will head into the contest on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Deportivo Riestra in the Primera Division, highlighting their inconsistency this season.
San Lorenzo will need to avoid a repeat performance when they face their Friday opponents in just the second encounter between these two sides, with the reverse fixture ending 1-0 in favour of the visitors.
Similar to their hosts, Liverpool require maximum points from Friday’s contest to enhance their chances of progressing to the knockout stages.
However, the 2023 Uruguayan Primera Division champions have struggled in the competition so far, scoring just three goals and conceding nine in four group-stage matches.
Emiliano Alfaro’s side are also enduring a tough domestic campaign, currently sitting seventh in the league standings and having managed just three wins in 12 Primera Division matches.
Liverpool’s only win in the Copa Libertadores came against San Lorenzo on home soil, and they have only played one away game so far, which resulted in a 3-1 defeat to Palmeiras.
San Lorenzo vs. Liverpool Head to head
These two teams have only previously met on one occasion, with Liverpool winning 1-0 at home.
