📋 Team News: Fluminense

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Fluminense boss Fernando Diniz to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Jorge (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out.

In our view, Tricolor may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Fabio, Samuel Xavier, David Braz, Thiago Santos, Marcelo, Vinicius Lima, Martinelli, Ganso, Alexsander Gomes, Yony Gonzalez and German Cano.

📋 Team News: São Paulo

São Paulo boss Dorival Júnior has to choose a team with limited availability. Alexandre Pato (muscular problems), Marcos Paulo (Ligament injury), Jonathan Calleri (Injury to the ankle) and Rodrigo Nestor (Knee injury) miss out here.

From our viewpoint, Tricolor Paulista appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Rafael, Rafinha, Diego, Lucas Beraldo, Welington, David, Alisson, Luciano Neves, Gabriel Neves, Pablo Maia and Juan.
