The two teams com from different divisions in the Brazilian Championship. São Paulo in Serie A and Vasco Da Gama in Serie B. São Paulo are fighting against relegation, while Vasco fight for promotion.

In Copa do Brasil, São Paulo and Vasco faced each other in three knockouts (1998, 2002 and 2015). In six games, there were two wins for each side and two draws. São Paulo advanced twice, and Vasco once.

São Paulo had difficulties to have a fully-fit squad but just before this match player like Luciano and Luan returned after injuries. Now Hernán Crespo can launch his best starting XI. The only absence is Dani Alves, who is in Japan for the Olympics.

Hernán Crespo wants to win another trophy this year, after Copa Sudamericana (Defensa y Justicia) and Campeonato Paulista (São Paulo). He knows that it’s hard to win the Brasileirão because his squad lacks enough depth, but he is a cup expert and São Paulo still have chance with Copa do Brasil and Copa Liberatores.

Vasco Da Gama has just signed Lisca as new head coach. Lisca still wants to know the players better before he makes modifications. Copa do Brasil might not be so important as the promotion campaign.

Let’s back São Paulo.

这两支球队来自巴西的不同级别联赛。 圣保罗在巴甲，达伽马在巴乙。圣保罗正在为保级而战，而达伽马为升级而战。

在巴西杯中，圣保罗和达伽马在3次两回合淘汰赛中相互对决过（1998年，2002年和2015年）。在六场比赛中，双方各有2场胜利，另外是2场平局。圣保罗两次晋级，而达伽马一次。

圣保罗很难拥有一支完全健康的球队，但就在这场比赛之前，像卢西亚诺和卢安这样的球员伤愈复出。 现在埃尔南-克雷斯波可以推出他的最佳首发名单。 唯一缺席的是丹尼-阿尔维斯，他在日本参加奥运会。

埃尔南-克雷斯波希望在今年赢得另一个奖杯，他已经赢得南球杯（防御正义）和圣保罗州锦标赛（圣保罗）。 他知道很难赢得巴甲冠军，因为他的球队缺乏足够的深度，但他是一个杯赛专家，圣保罗仍然有机会获得巴西杯和解放者杯。

达伽马刚刚签下利斯卡作为新的主教练。 利斯卡仍然希望更好地了解球员，然后再调整球队。 巴西杯可能没有升级战那么重要。

让我们支持圣保罗。
