Team News

Sao Paulo
Ceara
  • Luan is a doubt here due to injury.
  • Striker, Brenner has been sold to FC Cincinnati for a fee of around $13 Million.
  • Walce and Lizeiro continue to miss out due to injury.
  • Bruno Pacheco returns here from injury.
  • Luiz Otavio is out after picking up a thigh injury against Corinthians.

Prediction

  • Sao Paulo are seven matches without a win and they sacked their manager after a 2-1 defeat to Atletico GO last time out. Fernando Diniz appeared to have turned things around around Christmas time but they have slumped since their cup exit at the start of the year. They are fourth and now fighting for automatic qualification for the group stages of the Copa Libertadores.
  • Ceara have lost back-to-back games and currently sit in 13th place. Qualification for a continental competition spot looks certain and they only sit three points off a Copa Libertadores spot. That is their dream for the remainder of the season.
