São Paulo: Crespo makes three changes for Vitória cup clash | OneFootball

The São Paulo lineup includes some changes for this Sunday's match against Vitória, at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Barradão, for the last round of the Brazilian Championship.

Coach Hernán Crespo made three changes compared to the team that faced Internacional in the last round. Arboleda, Cédric Soares, and Alisson come in for Alan Franco, Maik, and Bobadilla.

Substituted against Inter due to right knee pain, Alan Franco traveled with the squad to Salvador but will start on the bench. Young Maik is out due to abdominal pain. Bobadilla, on the other hand, had to serve an automatic suspension for accumulating yellow cards.

The complete São Paulo lineup includes Rafael; Tolói, Arboleda, and Sabino; Cédric Soares, Luiz Gustavo, Alisson, Marcos Antônio, and Ferreirinha; Luciano and Tapia.

The Tricolor will take the field looking to secure the eighth position in the Brazilian Championship. For that, a draw is enough for the team led by Hernán Crespo, who will also need to hope that Cruzeiro or Fluminense wins the Copa do Brasil to qualify for the Pre-Libertadores.

Vitória, on the other hand, is the first team in the relegation zone and desperately needs a positive result and a slip-up from one of its direct competitors to remain in the Brasileirão Serie A.

Vitória will take the field with Thiago Couto; Cáceres, Camutanga, Neris, and Zé Marcos; Ramon, Baralhas, and Willian Oliveira; Erick, Aitor, and Renato Kayzer.
