Sao Paulo host Atletico Mineiro at the Cicero Pompue de Toledo Stadium in Brazil's Serie A on Sunday, with both teams having contrasting seasons so far.
Sao Paulo have had a disappointing season and are currently 12th in the league. Hernan Crespo's side have only managed to win one of their last six games across all competitions.
It will be a huge ask for them to get anything from the game against league leaders Atletico Mineiro on Sunday.
Atletico Mineiro have a seven-point lead at the top of the table and are unbeaten in their last 11 games across all competitions. Cuca's side will go into Sunday's game off the back of a 0-0 draw against Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores last time out.
