Team News

Atletico MG
Sao Paulo
  • Rômulo Otero is back in contention for this game after injury.
  • He has trained normally this week, so could make the starting XI.
  • Elsewhere, there should be rotation to keep players fresh for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil final.
  • Andrés Chavez and Luiz Araújo are available again after suspension.
  • Both should start in attack, alongside Christian Cueva and David Neres.
  • Julio Buffarini – a right-back by trade – looks set to get a start in midfield.

Prediction

  • Just when you think Brazilian football can't get any crazier, it does: Atlético-MG sacked Marcelo Oliveira after the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final against Grêmio.
  • Yes, Atlético were well beaten in game one, but is interim boss Diogo Giacomini a better option to get the best out of the players? That's doubtful.
  • São Paulo announced on Thursday that Rogério Ceni will return as manager next season, which has fans excited.
