Sao Paulo will host Goias on Saturday in the 19th game week of the Brasileiro Serie A.
The Soberano have had mixed results this season, picking up 25 points from 18 games to sit in tenth place in the league standings. They played out an entertaining 3-3 draw against Internacional in their last game. Sao Paolo from behind to draw level on three occasions as both sides displayed impressive prowess in the final third.
Goias, meanwhile, have struggled for form of late; they're 14th in the league table with 21 points from 18 games. They were beaten 3-2 by Fluminense in their game. Goais looked set to come away with a famous comeback win after Nicolas thumped in a long-range strike late in the second half. However, Fluminense reclaimed the lead with a quickfire double five minutes from time.
Goais are just three points above the drop zone and will look to widen that gap with a win on Saturday.
