The end of the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship will have a Choque-Rei with both teams undeniably motivated. On Monday night (29), at 8pm, the fans of São Paulo and Palmeiras have good reasons to expect a great performance from the teams. Both won important games for the Libertadores in midweek. Therefore, they seek to confirm their good phase by defeating a city rival.
Where to Watch
The classic will be broadcast live from Premiere, via pay-per-view.
How do you get to São Paulo?
After two consecutive defeats, Tricolor won their first three points by beating Atlético-GO away from home. At the moment, the team occupies 14th place in the Brasileirão table. Verdão, current two-time champion, has a 44% success rate and is in 11th place with four points. Abel Ferreira’s team arrives after a goalless draw against Flamengo in the last round.
After the victory over Barcelona SC in the Libertadores, in Guayaquil, Ferreira ended up being doubtful for the clash, due to discomfort in his left foot. Luis Zubeldía, in short, has four absences for the classic: Wellington Rato, with an injury to his left ankle, Rafinha, recovering from a fracture in his left fibula, in addition to Lucas and James Rodríguez, with thigh injuries. Luiz Gustavo is still in the transition phase, while Moreira is an option for the coach.
How does Palmeiras arrive?
Coming off a heroic comeback against Independiente del Valle, also in the Libertadores, Abel Ferreira will probably make some changes for Choque-Rei. Zé Rafael is a doubt due to a lower back problem. Bruno Rodrigues and Dudu, in short, are in the process of recovering from their surgeries. Finally, defender Murilo, absent from the game during the week, should return to the team. Furthermore, to spare Raphael Veiga, young Luis Guilherme may have his chance.
