São Paulo

DWWWWW 🔥

São Paulo, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 3-0 Copa do Brasil success vs Flamengo.

At least three goals per game have been seen in 6 of the past 6 meetings where São Paulo have participated. Their opponents scored 7 of them in these games while Tricolor Paulista totted up 16. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this game, though.

Heading into this fixture, São Paulo are undefeated in their last 11 league matches at home. A run that they'll hope to extend here.

We’re of the view that São Paulo should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Vasco da Gama could well struggle to score but do we see them converting at least once.

We’re predicting a 3-1 winning score for São Paulo at the end of the match.
