Team News

Sao Paulo
Sport Recife
  • André Jardine welcomes back centre-back Bruno Alves after suspension.
  • He could take the place of Rodrigo Caio, who deputised against Vasco.
  • Diego Souza could miss out again with a knee issue.
  • Sander could return at left-back after a niggling injury.
  • If he does, Ernando can expect to drop down to the bench again.
  • Andrigo and Marlone are pushing for starts in the attacking midfield roles.

Prediction

  • Sport are not down and out just yet, but it's fair to say that the midweek defeat to fellow strugglers Chapecoense did their survival hopes no favours at all.
  • The Recife side are now two points off safety, so could really do with getting something here before their final fixture, at home to Santos.
  • São Paulo came up short against Vasco at the weekend and have only won one of their last six games at the Morumbi – so there is hope for the away side.
