São Paulo is set for Sunday's game against Atlético-MG, in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Hernán Crespo made two changes to the team that faced Atlético Nacional last Tuesday.
Midfielder Rodriguinho and striker Luciano lost their spot to Pablo Maia and Ferreirinha, respectively. Defender Arboleda and full-back Wendell have improved in their recoveries throughout the week, but are still not available. Striker Lucas, on the other hand, does not even appear on the bench.
The São Paulo lineup is: Rafael; Ferraresi, Alan Franco and Sabino; Cédric, Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio and Enzo Díaz; Ferreirinha and André Silva.
The Tricolor arrives at the match boosted by their qualification for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. In addition, the São Paulo team has not been defeated in the Brazilian Championship for seven games.
The team has gained momentum since Crespo's arrival and occupies eighth place in the table, with 29 points. If they win, they can enter the G6 of the A Series.
Atlético-MG, on the other hand, also comes from a classification over Godoy Cruz in the Copa Sudamericana, but seeks a reaction in the Brazilian Championship. The Rooster has not won in two rounds and fell to 11th place, with 24 points.
Cuca's team takes the field with: Everson; Gabriel Menino, Vitor Hugo, Ivan Román and Caio Paulista; Fausto Vera, Alan Franco and Igor Gomes; Reinier, Júnior Santos and Rony.
The ball rolls in a little while, starting at 20h30 (Brasília time), on the Morumbis field. Lucas Casagrande (PR) whistles the duel, being assisted by the assistants Bruno Raphael Pires (GO) and Victor Hugo Imazu dos Santos (PR). Rodrigo D’Alonso Ferreira (SC) commands the VAR.
