🗞️ Team News: Flamengo
The Flamengo boss Adenor Tite has no fitness worries to speak of ahead of this clash with a fully injury-free squad available for selection.
In all likelihood, Fla should use a 4-2-3-1 formation this time and select Agustin Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton, Nicolás De La Cruz, Erick Pulgar, Bruno Henrique, Allan, Everton and Pedro.
🗞️ Team News: São Paulo
São Paulo boss Thiago Carpini has to currently contend with reduced team options. Luiz Gustavo (Achilles tendon problems), João Moreira (Muscle injury), Rafinha (Tendon rupture) and Rodrigo Nestor (Knee injury) can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that Tricolor Paulista might utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Rafael, Igor Vinícius, Diego Costa, Robert Arboleda, Welington, Pablo Maia, Alisson, Luciano, Giuliano Galoppo, Aldemir Ferreira and Jonathan Calleri.
🧠 Prediction
It looks to us that Flamengo certainly have the ability to get the win and a possible clean sheet against São Paulo, who could well struggle scoring.
Therefore, we are anticipating a controlled 2-0 victory for Flamengo after 90 minutes.
