Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras Prediction & Betting tips
Festive mood in Sao Paulo: The Derby Choque-Rei is the second most important city duel after the Paulista! Sao Paulo receives the kickers of Palmeiras and in addition to the prestige, it is of course also important points in the Campeonato A. This is especially the home side under pressure. Before the break through the Copa America succeeded in the last seven competitive matches no victory and in the table of Clube da Fé ranks only in ninth place. Instead, the champion once again sits at the top of the table and is already five points clear of second-placed Santos.
In addition, the first leg was won in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil against Internacional last Thursday, which means that Verdão are still in good shape in this competition. Since the match also faces the two best Serie A defensive series, the first part of the Sao Paulo against Palmeiras tip is that less than 2.5 goals fall. The prediction is supplemented by the double chance for the guests, who have the cup play in their legs, but have played very consistently until now. The Sao Paulo against Palmeiras forecast is alluded to with a use of five units.
Sao Paulo:
The previous year’s fifth has been rather weak for several weeks. For five matchdays, no victory succeeded, although it went at least partially against clubs from the table cellar such as the Last Avai or third to last Cruzeiro. Although the majority of league games was not lost, but ended with a draw, but the crisis of form is obvious. From this assessment, however, the defense can be excluded. This works even very stable, as can be easily read on only five goals in nine rounds. Only the upcoming opponent has nailed his box even more efficient in Serie A so far.
The problem with the three-time winner of the Copa Libertadores is thus the offensive: Only eight goals and thus on average less than one goal per game could Sao Paulo book to date. Other than new signing Pato, who came out of the Super League from Tianjin Tianhai and scores three goals, no other Tricolor player scored more than one goal.
Coach Cuca will put on the home bonus in the upcoming match: So far, none of the four games has ended before their own backdrop as a loser. However, this stagnates as well as the success since three draws were booked. For the hosts also speaks that their schedule is much more spacious in contrast to the opponent. While Palmeiras must also play in the Copa do Brasil and Copa Libertadores, the six-time champion can focus after the departure against Bahia a few weeks ago in the Cup completely on the league.
The White Greens have already ended the four-week break at the Brazilian club level this week. Internacional’s men were beaten 1-0 in the first leg of the quarter-finals in the Copa do Brasil. At the same time it was the 13th home game in a row with a clean sheet! The defensive of the team of coach Felipe Scolari is currently the measure of all things in Brazil. Even in Serie A are hardly conceded goals. Only two have been accepted so far – in each case abroad. Otherwise, the winner of the Copa Libertadores 1999 in the stranger appears very serene. None of the four appearances has been lost and not less than three victoriously denied.
The fact that the defense is so solid is mainly because it is well recorded. There were hardly any personnel changes before the season – players like Diogo Barbosa Mendanha or Edu Dracena have been employed by Porco for several years and have developed a great routine in interaction. This also applies to various other defensive players and this consistency in personnel policy is the key to success.
While many clubs in the Serie A continuously deliver players to the European clubs in Europe, the fluctuation in the ten-fold record champions is significantly less pronounced. In addition to the defense but also the offensive must be positively mentioned with a cut of two hits per game, she is also the most dangerous in the Campeonato A. Also in the attack department can be with Dudu, best assistants in the previous year in Serie A, or the scoreboard Actors Bruno Henrique and Deyverson discover familiar faces that already belonged to the regular staff in the championship season.
