Probable lineups

For this match, Abel Ferreira may have two reinforcements. Murilo and Vitor Roque are in advanced recovery from physical issues and trained with the squad in the last two days. The defender is recovering from a sprain in his left knee, while the forward suffered from pain in his left ankle.

On the other side, coach Martín Anselmi has two absences and will make changes in defense and midfield. Defender Barboza was sent off in the derby against Flamengo, while midfielder Allan received his third yellow card. Thus, both will serve automatic suspensions.
