📰 Team News: São Paulo

Wellington Rato (Hamstring injury), Luiz Gustavo (Achilles tendon problems), João Moreira (Muscle injury), Rafinha (Leg injury), Lucas Moura (Injury to the ankle) and James Rodríguez (Muscle injury) will be missing for São Paulo manager Luis Zubeldía.

We think that Tricolor Paulista look set to employ a 3-4-2-1 system for this one and select Rafael, Diego Costa, Robert Arboleda, Alan Franco, Igor Vinícius, Alisson, Pablo Maia, Welington, Luciano, André Silva and Jonathan Calleri.

📋 Team News: Palmeiras

Owing to a fully injury-free squad available to select from, the Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira has no fitness worries at all ahead of this game.

It’s our belief that Verdão appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Weverton, Mayke, Murilo Cerqueira, Gustavo Gomez, Joaquín Piquerez, Richard Rios, Anibal Moreno, Endrick, Raphael Veiga, Lázaro and José Manuel López.

✨ Prediction

It seems to us that Palmeiras and São Paulo should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore tipping a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline at the conclusion of the game.
