Important fight in the "wrong" end of the Paulista A1, with both Guarani and Portuguesa suffering more anxiety than glee. This fixture is a classic "six-pointer" with the team playing at home placed 4th and the visiting team in 4th position.

- Portuguesa have yet to win a game away.
It's no vacation for neither Guarani nor Portuguesa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
