Team News

Sao Paulo
Bahia
  • Hernanes and Lucas Pratto are expected to miss out with muscle issues.
  • Dorival Júnior may make further changes to give squad players some game time.
  • Petros is back from suspension and should start, however.
  • Eduardo and Zé Rafael are absent for Bahia here.
  • The right-back and the playmaker both serve suspensions.
  • Éder and Régis are likely to come into the XI.

Prediction

  • Two sides with almost identical records will face off at the Morumbi, with very little beyond pride to play for.
  • São Paulo are likely to be busy in the off-season, with a number of transfer already seemingly in the works, so Dorival Júnior will be thinking of 2018 already.
  • Bahia are probably going to be more worried about losing players than signing them: Zé Rafael is among a number of Tricolor stars in demand.
