São Paulo set for two more same-day friendlies v local rivals: week ahead | OneFootball

After drawing 0-0 with Bragantino this Saturday (4), São Paulo confirmed that it will play two more friendly matches next weekend during the team’s preparation period amid the break for the World Cup.

As reported by the club, next Saturday (11) Tricolor will face two São Paulo-based opponents in friendlies at CT da Barra Funda, Primavera at 10 a.m. (Brasília time), and Santo André shortly afterward, at 2 p.m.

Dorival Júnior’s coaching staff will put together one team to face Primavera and another to take on Santo André. This way, each player will be able to play for longer compared to the previous friendlies, in which São Paulo used one lineup in the first half and another in the second.

So far, Tricolor have played two friendlies in this mid-season period, with two draws: 2-2 against Juventus and 0-0 against Bragantino. Then, on the 17th (Friday), São Paulo’s plan is to hold two more warm-up matches before the Brasileirão resumes.

The Morumbi side are scheduled to return to action on July 22, a Wednesday, against Athletico-PR in the Brazilian Championship. The match will be a home game for Tricolor, but it will not be played at Morumbi, which will once again be occupied for concerts.

After being given Sunday (5) off, São Paulo’s players return to training on the morning of Monday (6) at CT da Barra Funda. Tuesday (7) will be the only day with two training sessions before the matches against Primavera and Santo André.
