São Paulo is set to face Grêmio in the upcoming match, valid for the third round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Hernán Crespo has made changes compared to the last game and has brought almost full strength for the clash, with an attacking trio formed by Lucas, Luciano, and Calleri, and the new reinforcement on the right back.
The ball rolls for São Paulo and Grêmio on Wednesday night at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbis. The duel marks the debut of the new jersey 1 of the Tricolor paulista, launched earlier despite all the internal controversy.
São Paulo opted to dismantle the three-defender line, having a defensive duo composed of Alan Franco and Sabino. Lucas Ramon, the new reinforcement, starts as a starter for the first time in place of Cédric Soares, while the midfield has Danielzinho as the main novelty.
In attack, the expectation falls on the trio formed by Lucas, Luciano, and Calleri. The three will play side by side for the first time this season.
The São Paulo lineup is: Rafael; Lucas Ramon, Alan Franco, Sabino, and Enzo Díaz; Danielzinho, Bobadilla, and Marcos Antônio; Lucas, Luciano, and Calleri.
On the other side, Grêmio will have the return of important players for the duel against São Paulo. João Pedro, recovered from a knee trauma, is back in the starting team in place of Marcos Rocha, as well as Balbuena, who replaces Gustavo Martins, and Marlon, who takes Caio Paulista's place.
In the midfield, Arthur returns. In attack, Tetê is also a novelty compared to the team that faced Novo Hamburgo.
Grêmio will field: Weverton; João Pedro, Balbuena, Wagner Leonardo, and Marlon; Noriega and Arthur; Edenilson, Tetê, and Amuzu; Carlos Vinícius.
