Player to watch: Luciano
Luciano put up an impressive performance against Bahia last weekend, registering a goal and an assist. He has been in sensational form for Sao Paulo, scoring three times and providing one assist in his last six games. As it stands, only two players have scored more goals than the former Leganes forward in the Serie A. It will be interesting to see if he will add to his tally this weekend.
