São Paulo v Bandeirante: where to watch and Paulista U20 kick-off | OneFootball

São Paulo’s youth team hosts Bandeirante this Saturday (13), at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia, for the third round of the Paulista Under-20 Championship. The young Tricolor side opened their campaign with a state league win by beating Santo André 1-0 away from home.

Each team has one bye round in this first stage of the competition, and São Paulo has already had theirs, which is why they have played only one match so far and will now head into their second fixture.

As Júlio Baptista gave three days off to the squad that was beaten by Bragantino in the last round of the Brazilian championship for the category, Tricolor will field a team made up of youngsters who do not usually get many opportunities, as well as attacking midfielder Gustavo Zabarelli, who was promoted for this match from São Paulo’s under-17 team, where he had been standing out this season.

Left-back Nicolas, for example, used these days off from the youth setup to travel to the United States at the invitation of the Swiss Football Federation, where he will follow the country’s World Cup opener, as the youngster developed in Cotia is already in advanced talks to represent the national team in the future.

Tricolor’s match against Bandeirante in Cotia will be broadcast live and exclusively on Paulistão’s YouTube channel. São Paulo have 3 points and sit in 5th place in Group 2 of the Paulista Under-20 Championship.
