São Paulo v Athletico-PR: how to watch, time, tickets, prediction | OneFootball

At last, after a long spell without playing due to the World Cup break, São Paulo return to the pitch this Wednesday (22) against Athletico-PR at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The clash in the final round of the first half of the Brasileirão is technically a home match for Tricolor, but it will be played away from Morumbi, which has been made available for Harry Styles concerts. So Dorival Júnior’s team will face the side from Paraná at the Cícero de Souza Marques stadium in Bragança Paulista (SP), which still has tickets available for purchase.

The match marking São Paulo’s return to action will have live coverage on TV Globo, GE TV, and the subscription channel Premiere.

In the Brasileirão, Tricolor have been slipping down the table. The team has not won in five rounds and sits only in 8th place with 25 points. Athletico are 5th with 30 points and come into the match on the back of two straight wins in the competition.

São Paulo were one of the few clubs that did not play friendlies during this mid-season break, opting instead to hold only training matches at their Barra Funda training center against teams from the state. The final tally was three wins, over Primavera, Santo André and Ferroviária, plus three draws against Juventus, Bull Bragantino and Grêmio Mauaense.

The club had a major scare this Tuesday (21) when it was punished with a FIFA transfer ban for failing to pay the first installment related to the permanent signing of midfielder Marcos Antônio from Lazio of Italy, leaving it temporarily unable to register new players.

However, they managed to register Victor Sá and Aurélio Buta with the CBF in time, and both have already appeared in the BID. Newton had already been registered and is cleared to be included in the squad by Dorival for the first time.
