Sao Paulo vs Corinthians Prediction

Sao Paulo Form

A single draw is all Sao Paulo have to show from their last three games, where they came up short, losing 1-3 and 2-0 against Vasco da Gama and Flamengo respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation with a 2-2 against Red Bull Bragantino. Sao Paulo only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Serie A matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored six and conceded eight goals.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Sao Paulo would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.

Corinthians Form

In their last three matches, Corinthians drew 1-1 with Gremio, lost 1-2 against Red Bull Bragantino and beat Ceara 0-1. Corinthians managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring nine time and letting in three.

Ambitions are high for Corinthians, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.

This particular encounter between Sao Paulo and Corinthians looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win on Sunday.

Corinthians won two of their previous three outings against teams from the bottom six and claimed seven points. They scored five and conceded one goals. Sao Paulo have a record of two wins, seven draws and five defeats in the Serie A this season. Corinthians are looking at five wins, four draws and five defeats in the Serie A.
