São Paulo hosts Vasco da Gama in Brasileirão clash
São Paulo and Vasco da Gama are set to face each other this Saturday at 21:00 at the Morumbis stadium for the 31st round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
São Paulo, currently in 10th place with 39 points, welcomes the return of attackers Luciano and Calleri, who have recovered from injuries. The team is looking to climb the table and secure a position in the Libertadores. Coach Dorival Júnior may also consider Lucas Moura as a substitute.
Vasco da Gama, sitting in 14th place with 35 points, is focused on escaping the relegation zone. The team is currently managing a heavy schedule, including a Copa Sul-Americana semifinal against Boca Juniors. Consequently, coach Pedro Emanuel may rotate the squad to manage player fatigue. Notable returns for Vasco include striker Facundo Colidio and Brenner, who is returning from a foot injury.
The match will be broadcast on Sportv and Premiere.
