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.

The Alvinegro will hope to continue their unbeaten streak with a win against Sao Paulo on Sunday.
Atletico Mineiro have a great opportunity to extend their lead at the the top of the table with a win against Sao Paulo.
