What They're Saying
San Lorenzo manager Edgardo Bauza (via Infobae): "It's a game that's important to us. We are in a group where anyone can take points off anyone, no matter where they're playing. I prefer to not face Brazilian clubs because we want to win the Copa [Libertadores] again and we've generated a lot of money."
San Lorenzo striker Franco Mussis: "We can't enter this game asleep. It's a very important game and as the home team, we can't afford to lose. We have to play better, but above all else, win."
Corinthians manager Tite (via Terra Sports): "The attention in a game like this is nonstandard. You do not have that atmosphere of a normal game. The players need to be mentally strong in this circumstance. When we can eliminate the variables outside of the field, we are closer to having a good performance."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Emerson Sheik unavailable due to injury, Corinthians turn to John Stiven Mendoza atop the formation. The 22-year-old has five league appearances with the club this season, boasting one goal.
