Sao Paulo have performed better than Vasco da Gama so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:

São Paulo have less rest than Vasco da Gama in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie A game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Ceará, so at least São Paulo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Vasco da Gama are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
