Sao Paulo will invite local rivals Corinthians to Estádio do Morumbi in the Brazilian Serie A on Saturday. The hosts have won just two of their 14 games and are 16th in the standings with 13 points. Timão have fared slightly better with five wins and are in 11th place with 19 points.
Tricolor Paulista are on a five-game winless run in Serie A. They ended their losing streak after four games earlier this week, as they were held to a 2-2 stalemate by RB Bragantino. André Silva bagged a brace with fellow striker Luciano providing assists for both goals.
The visitors returned to winning ways after five games in their previous outing, recording a 1-0 away triumph over Ceara. Talles Magno scored the only goal of the game in the 71st minute.
