Team News

Palmeiras
Sao Paulo
  • Joaquin Piquerez and Gustavo Gomez are on international duty.
  • Deyverson, Melo and Dudu miss out here due to bans.
  • Wellington and Gabriel Sara return from suspension.
  • Calleri will miss out after he was shown red early into the game against Flamengo for a horror tackle on David Luiz.

Prediction

  • After six straight wins, Palmeiras suffered defeat away from home against Fluminense on Sunday. They will be eager to bounce back here against their relegation-threatened state rivals.
  • Sao Paulo find themselves just two points above the bottom four following their 4-0 mauling by Flamengo at home. They are winless in three and must improve on recent results if they want to remain in Brazil's top flight.
  • Palmeiras enjoyed a 4-1 aggregate victory when the sides met in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals back in August.
