Rafael Tolói was chosen to fill the spot of Ferraresi, rested after two games as a starter for Venezuela during the FIFA date. In the attack, the duo chosen by Crespo amidst the absences of Ferreirinha (adductor discomfort) and Luciano (suspended) was Tapia and Dinenno. Newly signed, Rigoni starts on the bench, as does right-back Mailton.

Meanwhile, Enzo Díaz returns to the left wing after serving a suspension, and Alisson, recovered from hip pain, takes the place of Bobadilla, suspended, in midfield. Crespo also counts on the important returns of Arboleda and Marcos Antônio, who have recovered from muscle injuries and appear as options on the bench.
