We’re of the view that Instituto will have to work hard as a team to hit the back of the net against this San Lorenzo team who we think will likely do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We therefore see a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for San Lorenzo at the end of this one.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
