Team News

Sao Paulo
Gremio
  • Gonzalo Carneiro is the latest player to enter the physio room at the Morumbi.
  • He has a muscle strain and will not be risked in this game.
  • Nenê is expected to take on a key role under caretaker boss André Jardine.
  • Playmaker Luan has returned to training, raising hopes that he could feature in this game.
  • But if he does have a role to play, it'll most likely be from the bench.
  • Leonardo is a doubt with an injury and Walter Kannemann is with the Argentina side.

Prediction

  • São Paulo are the latest contenders in Brazilian football's Wheel of Fortune: they've opted to see what fate has in store for them by sacking Diego Aguirre.
  • That is a touch harsh on the Uruguayan, and typical of the unreasonably inflated expectations that seem to govern the vast majority of clubs in Série A.
  • Grêmio have shown that sticking with a coach over the longer term has huge benefits – just witness how Renato Gaúcho's star has risen in Porto Alegre.
