Team News

Bahia
Sao Paulo
  • Attacking midfielder Vinícius returns after a ban that kept him out in midweek.
  • But Matheus Reis serves a suspension here and will need replacing.
  • With Pablo Armero injured, Juninho Capixaba should get the nod.
  • Dorival Júnior is unlikely to ring the changes despite defeat to Coritiba.
  • He appears to have settled on a midfield three he likes, with the only question marks in attack.
  • Marcos Guilherme will be eager for his first start after two substitute appearances.

Prediction

  • It's 16th vs 17th at the Fonte Nova, with Bahia looking to keep São Paulo in the relegation zone with a positive result.
  • The Salvador side are still on the lookout for a permanent manager and their recent form has not been impressive, irregardless of their draw against Chapecoense in midweek.
  • São Paulo have shown more spark since Dorival Júnior's arrival, although the defeat to Coritiba was a reminder that work remains to be done.
