After a losing effort in their last game against Club Libertad in Copa Libertadores action, Alianza Lima will be aiming to make amends here.

ℹ️ Team News: Alianza Lima

With a fully healthy group to choose from, the Alianza Lima manager Néstor Gorosito has zero fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash.

⚡ 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.
