Sao Paulo - Form analysis: Improved after changing the coach.

The "Tricolor" lost on penalties to Novorizontino in the Paulista League, took only 3 points in the first couple of rounds of the Libertadores Cup, and started the national championship with two defeats. This led to a change: Subeldia became the coach. With him, they collected 7 out of 9 points in Serie A, won the Agui de Marabu Cup away, and also defeated Barcelona Guayaquil and Cobresal in the Copa Libertadores.

Fluminense - Form analysis: Slow start.

The "Warriors" continue under the guidance of Fernando Diniz. He hasn't abandoned the team even for the national team, and rightly so — they won the Copa Libertadores last season, their first in history. However, things aren't going smoothly now: they only managed a draw against Alianza Lima and Cerro Porteno. They played for a win against Colo-Colo in Chile but only won 1-0. In the Brazilian league, they only won against Vasco da Gama at home, drawing with Red Bull Bragantino and Atletico Mineiro there. Both away matches ended in defeats against Bahia and Corinthians (the latter with a score of 0-3).
