Sao Paulo tries to regain confidence against Boca

Last year's Libertadores winner Sao Paulo faces Argentina's Boca Juniors at the Morumbi Stadium, in the second leg of the South American Recopa. The Brazilian team is trying to come back from the 2-1 loss it suffered in Buenos Aires last week, and also to regain some confidence after failing to defeat a nine-men Corinthians team last Sunday, when the team played with the numerical advantage for most of the game.

Lenilson will remain on the team playing in midfield instead of Danilo. Coach Muricy Ramalho hasn't determined his formation yet, and could opt to use Souza as right back, moving Leandro to his natural position in attack alongside Aloisio. However, he may instead field forward Thiago with Aloisio, playing Leandro as right back in place of Souza.

Boca will have right-back Ibarra returning to the team from injury, while midfielder and captain Battaglia will probably be replaced by Ledesma due to another injury. Coach Alfio Basile makes his last game ahead of the popular Argentine club. After the game he will dedicate his time exclusively to the Argentina National team, being replaced at Boca by former Mexico's coach Ricardo Lavolpe, who's Argentine. Due to Basile's farewell, team players have promised to fight to the end to guarantee the team its 16th international title.
