São Paulo

DLLLDW

São Paulo head into the meeting following on from a 0-1 Copa Libertadores win with the defeat of Talleres in their last fixture.

In that game, São Paulo had 51% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for São Paulo was Alisson (76'). On the other side, Talleres had 17 shots at goal with 1 on target.

São Paulo have had no problems opening up opposition defences of late, scoring 6 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that São Paulo can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same clashes. That trend might not follow through into this next game, of course.

Looking at the pre-match facts, São Paulo:

• haven't beaten Atlético Mineiro when having played them away from home in the previous 8 league matches. Very poor away form.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

Cadu (Torn knee ligaments) and Brahian Palacios (Hamstring injury) won’t be able to feature for Atlético Mineiro gaffer Cuca Stival.

📰 Team News: São Paulo

São Paulo manager Luis Zubeldía has to currently contend with reduced team options. Pablo Maia (Inner ankle ligament tear), Lucas Moura (Knee problems), Rodriguinho (Knee problems) and Young (Foot injury) are not able to play.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that São Paulo will have to perform well to breach the defence of this Atlético Mineiro side who we think will score one, at least.

We’re therefore seeing a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Atlético Mineiro after 90 minutes.

It should be a good one.
