Luciano on São Paulo’s return to Morumbis, looks ahead to Choque-Rei | OneFootball

São Paulo faces Palmeiras this Saturday night in a classic match that determines the leadership of the Brazilian Championship. Forward Luciano previewed the clash which marks the tricolor team's return to Morumbi.

The number 10 emphasized the importance of fan support and aims for victory to bring São Paulo back to the top of the standings. Both teams are tied with 16 points, but Tricolor falls short in the tiebreaker criteria.

“It's a very important game, another final for us, once again against Palmeiras. We've been having good duels in recent years. I hope that with the support of our fans, returning to Morumbi, they fill our home and we come out with the three points, which is the most important, so we can go into the FIFA date leading the championship,” Luciano told SPFC Play.

“Whenever the fans fill our home, they give us support, confidence, the atmosphere is completely different. Tomorrow, God willing, it will be a special night alongside our fans encouraging us. We will give our all for them on the field to come out victorious,” he added.

The classic between São Paulo and Palmeiras is scheduled for 9 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday, with Tricolor as the host.

The Morumbi team seeks recovery after the defeat to Atlético-MG in the last round, the first under coach Roger Machado. Verdão, on the other hand, comes from two consecutive victories, the latest being against Botafogo at Allianz Parque, 2-1.
