São Paulo have not mounted a proper title challenge for some time now, so there is understandably a good deal of excitement about this year's campaign. Diego Aguirre has them playing some convincing football and no side in the division has taken more points over the last five matches. Grêmio still have the best defensive record in the league, but continue to struggle at the other end: they couldn't even find the net against 10-man Vasco at the weekend.
Gremio will be missing 6 players of the base due to injuries and disqualifications. Sao Paulo has one fresh loss, not the most key player, but 3 players return after disqualification.
