Gremio and Sao Paulo return to action in the Brasileiro Serie A when they square off at the Arena do Gremio on Sunday (June 4).
Both sides progressed to the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil in midweek and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling. Gremio booked their spot in the last eight with a 1-0 win over Cruzeiro 1-0 on Wednesday, sealing a 2-1 aggregate win.

Meanwhile, Sao Paulo edged out Sport Recife on penalties in the Copa do Brasil on Wednesday, overturning their first-leg deficit to force a 3-3 aggregate draw. Before that, Dorival Junior’s men were on a four-match winning streak, including a 2-0 win over Academia Puerto Cabello in the Copa Sudamericana on May 24.
Sao Paulo now return to the Serie A, where they're unbeaten in seven games, winning four, since kicking off the new campaign with a 2-1 loss to Botafogo on April 15.
