São Paulo v Athletico-PR: watch, line-ups, kick-off, tickets, tip | OneFootball

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

The match, which closes out the first half of the Brasileirão season, is officially a home game for Tricolor, but it will be played away from Morumbi, which has been made available for Harry Styles concerts. As a result, Dorival Júnior’s team will face the Paraná side at 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 has been sliding down the table. The team has not won in five rounds and sits only in 8th place with 25 points. Athletico is 5th with 30 points and comes into the match on the back of two straight wins in the competition.

São Paulo was one of the few clubs that did not play friendlies during this midseason break, choosing instead to hold only training matches at its 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, it managed to register Victor Sá and Aurélio Buta with the CBF in time, and both already appeared in the BID. Newton had already been registered and is cleared to be included by Dorival for the first time.

A likely São Paulo lineup against Athletico-PR features Rafael; Lucas Ramón, Arboleda, Rafael Tolói, and Wendell (Enzo Díaz); Bobadilla (Pablo Maia), Marcos Antônio, Artur, and Ferreirinha; Luciano and Calleri.
