Player to watch: Lucas Moura

With five goals and two assists since the start of the season, Moura earned the right to be featured as the player to watch in our Palmeiras vs Sao Paulo prediction. He is a firm starter for his manager in the domestic league games and we trust he will play versus Palmeiras as well.

Second player to watch: Rafael

Shot-stopper Rafael was a force to be reckoned with in the match versus Nacional a couple of days ago. He recorded a clean sheet after making two critical saves for his team.
