Sao Paulo vs Gremio Prediction

Sao Paulo Form

Sao Paulo hope to get back to winning ways after first beating Athletico Paranaense by 1-2, before winning 2-0 against Red Bull Bragantino. The streak ended in a recent 2-1 defeat against Atletico MG. Sao Paulo showed little mercy in their past six matches at Morumbi, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 11 times, while letting in four themselves.

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

Gremio Form

Gremio suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches as they were run over by Juventude in a 3-0 defeat. Cruzeiro also proved too hard to handle as they won 0-2, before Gremio were able to strike back in a 3-1 win against Operario Ferroviario. Gremio didn't manage a single away win in their last six Serie A matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded ten and scored three goals themselves.

Gremio entered the season hunting for a title, however they find themselves far off track at this stage.

The crowd usually get a very entertaining encounter, when Sao Paulo face Gremio, and we see no reason for this to end on Thursday. The value bet lies with goals.

Sao Paulo took 14 points from their last eight encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Serie A table. This amounts to four wins after scoring 13 times and conceding ten. Gremio claimed zero wins and one points in their last five games against teams from the top six. They scored four times in these matches, but also conceded nine goals. Sao Paulo claimed eight wins, three draws as well as five defeats in the Serie A this season. Gremio are looking at three wins, two draws and nine defeats in the Serie A.
