- Ferraresi, Rafael Tolói and Alan Franco;
- Maik, Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio (or Luiz Gustavo) and Patryck;
- Rigoni and Tapia.
Ferreira traveled with the delegation, but is still doubtful due to swelling in his left thigh.
Decisive returns and embezzlements
Fluminense recovers three starters who did not face Palmeiras in the previous round. The return of Thiago Silva strengthens the defense, while Renê restores the left flank and Lucho Acosta increases creativity in midfield.
In São Paulo, the long medical department limits Crespo’s options. With 14 players handed over to DM or suspended during the season, the coach needs to improvise in defense and attack.

With 55 points, Fluminense depends only on itself to guarantee its presence in Libertadores 2026. The draw for Um already seals the place regardless of the other results.
Saint Paulo has 48 points and fights directly with Fluminense for position. Caso beats Maracanã, Tricolor from São Paulo can enter the G-7 and put pressure on their direct rivals in the fight for a continental spot.
The confrontation pits two teams facing each other that are going through different moments in the final stretch of the Brasileirão. Fluminense seeks to maintain their recent unbeaten record at home, while São Paulo needs to score away to continue dreaming of an international competition in 2026.
