São Paulo v Chapecoense: TV, kick-off, predictions, Canindé info | OneFootball

While they could have approached the game against Chapecoense calmly and continued Hernán Crespo's work, São Paulo decided to change everything during this break from games and hired Roger Machado as the head coach. He will make his debut this Thursday (12th) against the team from Santa Catarina, in a match scheduled for 8:00 PM (Brasília time), at Canindé, for the 5th round of the Brasileirão.

The match will be held at the Portuguesa stadium, as Morumbi is undergoing renovations on its pitch after a series of three AC/DC concerts at the tricolor's home.

Roger's inaugural match leading São Paulo against Chape will be broadcast live and exclusively on the subscription channel Premiere (pay-per-view).

With only two days of work, Roger Machado is not expected to make significant changes to the tricolor team that will take the field. Check out São Paulo's probable lineup here. Midfielder Marcos Antonio commented on the arrival of the new coach, highlighting that the players are already trying to assimilate the new work methodology.

“He conveyed his game philosophy to us, and we will try to adapt quickly to put it into practice in tomorrow's match,” said the tricolor's number 8.

In the Brasileirão, Crespo left the team well-positioned. The Tricolor is the runner-up with 10 points, the same as the 1st place Palmeiras, but behind only due to the opponent's better goal difference. There are three wins and one draw in the unbeaten campaign so far. The rival, however, has also not lost yet. They have played only three games, with two draws and one victory.
