Team News

Sao Paulo
Bahia
  • São Paulo are sweating over the fitness of Alexandre Pato.
  • The former Milan man limped out of the midweek win over Huachipato and is a doubt.
  • Osvaldo and Michel Bastos would be options to replace him.
  • Gilson Kleina may make a couple of changes to the side knocked out of the Copa Sul-Americana on Wednesday.
  • Rafael Miranda, Henrique and Diego Macedo are among the players angling for starts.
  • Maxi Biancucchi remains sidelined with a knock.

Prediction

  • Two teams who were in action in the Copa Sul-Americana in midweek go head to head on Saturday.
  • São Paulo qualified for the quarter-finals of that competition and will be hopeful of bouncing back from the defeat to Atlético-MG last time out.
  • Bahia, on the other hand, were knocked out by César Vallejo and must now refocus on their relegation battle.
