Struggling Coritiba will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying São Paulo in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
The visiting São Paulo played their last game only four days ago, a Copa Libertadores match. That game was also an away game, at River Plate. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
