Starting XI
- São Paulo: Coach Rogério Ceni has opted to leave striker Calleri on the bench due to a lingering hamstring strain, promoting midfielder Rodrigo Figueiredo to the forward line. The lineup reads: Alisson (GK), Igor Ramos, Arboleda, Bruno César, Nestor, Gabriel Veron, Rodrigo Figueiredo, Diego Silva, Pablo Sá, Lucas Pereira, and João Pedro.
- Corinthians: Manager Vítor Pereira has confirmed Memphis Mendes will start on the bench, giving the midfield a more defensive shape. The starting eleven includes: Cássio (GK), Fagner, Gil, Fábio Santos, Gabriel Moura, Róger Guedes, Luan Vaz, Jô, Renato Augusto, João Victor, and Vitor Ferraz.
Key tactical notes
