Rossi; Emerson Royal (Varela), Danilo, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Saúl, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta (Carrascal); Lino, Plata and Bruno Henrique (Juninho).

Starting with the defensive system. After a quick recovery from an ankle strain, Léo Ortiz is expected to be rested on Saturday (01). Against Racing, the number 3 even felt pain in the area but remained on the field. In short, in the defender's place, Filipe Luís is likely to opt for Danilo.

On the flanks, Varela and Alex Sandro are expected to make way for Emerson Royal and Ayrton Lucas, respectively. In the midfield, Jorginho and Erick Pulgar might be preserved due to high physical wear in recent games.

In the attack, the tendency is for Filipe Luís to give another opportunity to Samuel Lino. The doubt remains in the central part of the attack, with Plata, Bruno Henrique, and Juninho appearing as options.
