São Paulo
LLLDWD
São Paulo enter this game after a 0-0 Serie A draw against Atlético Mineiro.
In that match, São Paulo managed 41% possession and 6 attempts at goal with 4 on target. At the other end, Atletico Mineiro got 25 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target.

Alianza Lima
LDDDLL 📉
Since a losing effort in their last game against Club Libertad in Copa Libertadores competition, Alianza Lima and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that match, Alianza Lima managed 59% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Club Libertad had 11 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target.
In 5 of the past 6 clashes involving Alianza Lima, a comparatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing sides. The overall average number of goals per game within that spell comes to just 1.83, with the number of goals averaged by Los Aliancistas equalling 0.67. Previous results aside, time will tell whether that pattern might be replicated here in this game or not.

Prediction
Our thinking is that São Paulo should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
At the other end, Alianza Lima won’t find it easy finding the net themselves but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once as well.
We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 3-1 winning margin for São Paulo come full-time.
