The main lineup, however, should not undergo many changes compared to the one that emerged victorious against Bragantino last Wednesday. San Paolo will probably enter the field with Rafael, Rafinha, Beraldo, Arboleda and Caio Paulista (Welington); Pablo Maia, Alisson, Michel Araújo and Wellington Rato; Luciano and Juan (Erison).

In the last training session before the match, coach Dorival Júnior and his team carried out a positional tactical training followed by a set piece test. Furthermore, part of the cast participated in a technical training course in a small space.

The Sao Paulo team will travel to Santos this afternoon, where they will begin to concentrate in view of the match. Currently, with 45 points, the Tricolore is in ninth place in the Brasileirão rankings.
