Insights:
  • Cuiabá have the fewest scored goals (16) in Serie A

It's quite the trip for São Paulo when visiting Cuiabá as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.

São Paulo could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa Sudamericana game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Atlético GO. 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.
