Sao Paulo - Santa Cruz
*São Paulo does not want to give any possibility to visitors in this game. They played 2 games in Brasiliero so far, and earned 4 pts. so far:
2006-04-27 Palmeiras-Sao Paolo 1-1
2006-04-23 Fortaleza-Sao Paolo 1-0
They played Copa Libertadores in midweek, draw 1-1 with Plameiras, but today they will not rest any regulars. Coach Muricy Ramalho, confirmed that he will play with same 11, he played against Palmeiras. Ok, ok they have two injured players: Richarlyson (left knee) and Ricardo Oliveira. Muricy Ramalho explained his reasons to play with best 11: "We choose to rest players against Fortaleza, becouse that was long trip and hard away game, but this is something different. Today on Morumbi we have perfect conditions, and I will go with full force against Santa Cruz. I want to WIN."
*On the other hand, newcomers in Serie A, Santa Cruz, after two games have just one point, but they play hard football:
2006-04-23 Internacional-Santa Cruz 1-0
2006-04-16 Santa Cruz-Figueirense 0-0
Today cocah Giba will be able to count on two players: midlefielder Rosembrik and striker Val Baiano. But another attacker Thiago Gentil is injured. Giba said to local papers: "We respect Tricolori, but we are going to Morumbi to play football and try to take 3 points."
*Probable squads:
São Paulo
Rogério Ceni; Fabão, Lugano e André Dias; Souza, Josué, Mineiro, Danilo e Júnior; Thiago e Aloísio.
Técnico: Muricy Ramalho
Santa Cruz
Gilmar; Osmar, Valença, Adriano e Xavier; Rosembrik, Fernando Miguel, Júnior Maranhão e Zada; Carlinhos Bala e Val Baiano.

*H2H:

*I expect really one sided game, becouse Tricolori are good home team, and they are certanlly better team than Santa Cruz.
