São Paulo

DWLDWW

São Paulo are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-2 Copa do Brasil victory vs Náutico.

In that match, São Paulo had 42% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for São Paulo was Luciano (4'). At the other end, Náutico had 15 attempts on goal with 4 on target.

Their more recent scorelines highlight the fact that much solidity has been shown by the São Paulo rearguard. São Paulo have given the opposition little, seeing the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their last 6 outings standing at 4. However, time will tell whether the trend will continue on in this upcoming game or not.

Coming into this fixture, São Paulo haven't been defeated in their previous 5 league matches at home.

Mirassol

WDDLWD

Last time out, Mirassol drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Internacional.

In that match, Mirassol had 34% possession and 8 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Mirassol was Jemmes (8'). At the other end, Internacional had 25 shots at goal with 11 on target. Ricardo Mathias (77') was the scorer for Internacional.

Mirassol have attacked well of late, having scored 11 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, Mirassol have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same games.

Ahead of this clash, Mirassol have not won away from home in their last 7 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: São Paulo

Ferreirinha (Foot injury), Lucca (ankle sprain), Henrique Carmo (Injury to the ankle), Ruan (Knee problems), Igor Vinícius (Lumbar vertebra problems), Marcos Antônio (Hamstring injury), Jonathan Calleri (Cruciate ligament injury), Lucas Moura (Knee bruise) and Luiz Gustavo (Lung contusion) won’t be playing for São Paulo gaffer Luis Zubeldía.

It looks as if Tricolor Paulista will possibly employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Rafael, Nahuel Ferraresi, Robert Arboleda, Alan Franco, Enzo Díaz, Alisson, Oscar, Cedric Soares, Luciano, Lucas Ferreira and André Silva.

🗞️ Team News: Mirassol

Mirassol boss Rafael Guanaes has to choose a team with limited availability. Luiz Otávio (unknown injury), Alex Muralha (Leg injury), Rafa Silva (Thigh problems), Léo Gamalho (unknown injury), David Braz (unknown injury), Matheus Sales (unknown injury) and Zé Vitor (unknown injury) can’t be considered.

We believe Mirassol seem most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup, settling for Walter, Lucas Ramon, João Victor, Jemmes, Reinaldo, Danielzinho, Jose Aldo, Neto Moura, Gabriel, Negueba and Edson Carioca.

💭 Prediction

In this game, São Paulo will, in all likelihood, have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

However, Mirassol might well find it a difficult task to score themselves although we do think it’s probable that they will be seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning score for São Paulo after 90 minutes.
