Modified São Paulo

Crespo continued the squad rotation and made a total of eight changes compared to the team that played in the previous match. The defense, for example, features a new duo: Rafael Tolói and Dória, both making their season debuts. Enzo Díaz, recovered from inguinal hernia surgery, returns to the squad and starts on the bench.

In midfield, the main novelty is Negrucci, forming a trio with Pablo Maia and Lucas Moura. Finally, the attack gains mobility with Ferreirinha and Lucca. Calleri will also start for the first time since recovering from the serious injury to his left knee.

São Paulo’s lineup is: Rafael; Cédric Soares, Rafael Tolói, Dória, and Nicolas; Negrucci, Pablo Maia, and Lucas; Ferreirinha, Lucca, and Calleri.

  1. Absentees: Luan (physical transition), Ryan Francisco and André Silva (recovering from serious knee injuries).

Portuguesa maintains its core

On the other side, coach Fabio Matias’ Portuguesa brings a lineup closer to the ideal compared to recent matches. On the left flank, Caio Roque remains, as Gustavo Salomão is still in the medical department.

Portuguesa’s lineup is: Bertinato; João Vitor, Gustavo Henrique, Eduardo Biazus, and Caio Roque; Portuga, Zé Vitor, and Gabriel Pires; Maceió, Ewerthon, and Renê.
