What to expect
Both coaches will have spent the week working on the small margins, because that is usually where a game like this is decided. Whatever the table says, one-off games like this have a habit of ignoring the script. It should be a good watch for neutrals as well as for supporters of either club. A result here could shift things in this season’s Brasileirão Série A table, even if only by a place or two. Late goals have a way of changing the story of a match, so it is worth staying with it until the end. Fans watching from abroad can use the times above to plan around work, school or sleep. The fixture list rarely leaves much time to dwell on a single result, so every game in this stretch carries some weight. Even a single result can change the mood around a club for a few weeks, which is why games like this get so much attention. Supporters of both clubs will be hoping for a performance as much as a result. Games at this point in the schedule often swing on fitness and rotation as much as on tactics.
