Coach Filipe Luís will be without Ayrton Lucas, suspended for a third yellow card. Due to physical fatigue, the club's manager is expected to rotate the team and rest some players. It's worth noting that the "Mais Querido" had a very intense match against Estudiantes on Thursday, when they qualified on penalties for the Copa Libertadores semifinals to face Racing, also from Argentina.
