The midfield is expected to rely on Emi Martínez, Richard Ríos, and Felipe Anderson, supporting a front three of Estêvão, Facundo Torres, and Vitor Roque or Flaco López.
On the opposing bench, Luis Zubeldía’s probable São Paulo lineup lists Rafael between the posts, with a defensive framework comprising Ferraresi, Ruan or Arboleda, Alan Franco, and Enzo Díaz.
