Eyes on the Majestoso

With his strong performance against São Bernardo, Danielzinho strengthened his case to start against Corinthians this Sunday. The player formed a partnership with Pablo Maia in midfield, leaving Bobadilla and Marcos Antônio on the bench. 

With Alisson likely to leave for Corinthians themselves, the tendency is for Danielzinho to gain even more space under Crespo. 

The Majestoso, the name given to the classic between Corinthians and São Paulo, takes place this Sunday at 4pm (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena. The match will be valid for the third round of the Campeonato Paulista.
