Reigning champion Flamengo could only draw 2-2 with Internacional last weekend and needs to beat Sao Paulo to stay level on points with rivals for the title.

Flamengo have played nine games in the last four weeks, so they could decide to rotate or rest some players against Sao Paulo.

Both Willian Arao and Thiago Maia need to be replaced in the starting eleven, as they saw a card in the last game and will miss this weekend's due to suspension.

Sao Paulo had eight players out for their Copa Sudamericana encounter with Lanus, but expect their captain Hernanes to be cleared for this weekend.

Hernanes trained well for the first time after being injured in September, but defender Igor Vinicius does not appear to be able to play, despite returning to training.
