The starters who started last Wednesday's match did some regenerative work in the gym, while the others went onto the field and carried out tactical activities under the command of coach Tite.

The Red-and-Black manager will have the return of striker Bruno Henrique, left-back Filipe Luís, and midfielder Thiago Maia. All return from yellow card suspensions.

One of the highlights of the 3-0 victory over Palmeiras, Everton Cebolinha was the guest on “Resenha do Jogo”, on FlaTV, and highlighted the importance of the fans in this final stretch of the championship.

"I think yesterday the importance of the fans when they're with us was very clear. The connection between the fans and the team was felt both from the stands to the field and from the field to the stands. This gives us an extra boost; even when fatigue sets in, we run a little harder, because it really affects the players, and that was very clear yesterday. May we convert this advantage into victories with the games we have at home," said the striker.

The red-black squad returns to training this Friday (10) and finalizes preparations for the classic. Mais Querido has 56 points and occupies fifth place in the Brazilian Championship.
