Team News

Sao Paulo
Cruzeiro
  • Interim boss André Jardine is unlikely to ring the changes after the Grêmio game.
  • His system appeared to be similar to that of his predecessor, Diego Aguirre.
  • Teenage hotshot Hélio may drop back down to the bench.
  • Cruzeiro welcome Edílson, Sassá and Rafael Sóbis back after suspension.
  • The right-back can expect to start, but competition for places in attack is stiff.
  • Rafinha is approaching a return to fitness after injury.

Prediction

  • There isn't a great deal riding on this game, with both sides moseying along until the end of the season, albeit with slightly different levels of morale.
  • São Paulo are readjusting after sacking Diego Aguirre, and if André Jardine is eyeing a permanent position, this could be a good chance to impress.
  • Cruzeiro have the Copa do Brasil trophy in their cabinet and are dangerous opponents, with nothing to gain and nothing to lose in their remaining games.
