Palmeiras – the shape of the team and its analysis: the favourite status confirmed here
“The Pig”, being under the leadership of Abel Ferreira, is constantly winning serious trophies – the team ended the previous season with another championship. Now the giants have had a hard start in the national Serie A. At the same time, it was limited to a draw only in the first round in the Copa Libertadores, in Argentina. And then they beat a couple of outsiders, Liverpool Montevideo and Independiente del Valle, in all matches.
San Lorenzo – the shape of the team and its analysis: the results are quite mediocre in 2024
“The Ravens” finished in the top 3 of the Argentine Primera last year. Still, now they started with a loss of points, and they were among the middle peasants in the Diego Maradona Trophy in the spring (the club took 16 points in 14 matches). Speaking about the Copa Libertadores, the Argentines were on the verge of failure: a draw in the struggle with Palmeiras was followed by the failures in both Ecuador and Uruguay. Then, having done its best, the team took revenge on both of them at the home arena, breaking into 2nd place with a gap of 3 points. However, a defeat in Brazil could still send them to 3rd place in the group.
