San Lorenzo visit Santos with Sudamericana qualification in sight | OneFootball

San Lorenzo lead Group D, but everything is very tight. The clash against Santos will kick off at 7 p.m. at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium.

San Lorenzo will face a very tough match this Wednesday when they visit Brazil’s Santos for the fifth round of the Copa Sudamericana Group D.

The match, which will begin at 7 p.m., will take place at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium, and it will be broadcast on ESPN and Disney+ Premium. The referee will be Venezuelan Alexis Herrera, with his compatriot Juan Soto assisting from VAR.

San Lorenzo, coached by Gustavo Álvarez, come into this match as the leaders of Group D with six points, although everything is very close and a defeat could even leave them outside the qualification spots.

“El Ciclón,” who drew away to Ecuador’s Deportivo Cuenca in the previous round, are coming off a painful elimination in the Round of 16 of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol Apertura Tournament, where they lost on penalties to River in a match they had chances to win on several occasions.

Santos, meanwhile, are bottom of the group with only three points, although a win over San Lorenzo would leave them in a very strong position heading into the final round, when they will host Deportivo Cuenca.

The bad news for the Brazilian team is that this Wednesday they may not have their biggest star, Neymar, available, as he would be rested after suffering a knock this weekend in the match against Coritiba.

The probable lineups and other details for the match between Santos and San Lorenzo

Santos: Gabriel Brazao; Gonzalo Escobar, Lucas Veríssimo, Adonis Frías, Mayke; Willian Arao, Christian Oliva; Álvaro Barreal, Benjamín Rollheiser, Gabriel Bontempo; Gabigol. Coach: Cuca.
