This promises to be an action-packed encounter for São Paulo at Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo when the Copa Libertadores tournament arrives in town and Rentistas with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
São Paulo have less rest than Rentistas in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Paulista A1 game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Ituano, so at least Paulo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Rentistas have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
