Sao Paulo vs Santos Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th July 2023

Both Sao Paulo and Santos are currently enjoying the comforts of mid-table in the Serie A. Both teams will be eager to make a push for an even stronger position, when going toe-to-toe this coming Sunday.

Sao Paulo are placed eight with 22 points after 14 matches. Santos occupy a position as 13 in the league on 16 points.

From a rather disappointing position in the table, Santos could really do with a win when going up against Sao Paulo. They have had some tough results and need to get their season back on track pronto.

Sao Paulo are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 11 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.1 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents ten goals, or an average of one a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.

Santos are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 11 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.1 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 14 goals, and while Santos claimed four clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.4 goals per match.

The last time the pair played each other Santos came away as 1-0 winners, and rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind on Sunday.

Sao Paulo vs Santos Prediction

Sao Paulo Form

Sao Paulo look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last 3 matches saw them gain 7 points. They ran out 1-0 and 1-0 against Fluminense and Palmeiras respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Red Bull Bragantino, who claimed a point in a 0-0 draw. 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 six 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.

Santos Form

In their last three matches, Santos lost against Flamengo and Cuiaba by 2-3 and 3-0, respectively, and beat Goias by 4-3. Santos claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Serie A. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by eight goals to two.

Santos had their sights set on the Serie A title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Sao Paulo have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt Santos are capable of getting in the way of the home side at Morumbi, as we aim for the home win.

Sao Paulo recorded 11 points following three wins from their last five games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored 11 goals, but also conceded five. Santos claimed zero wins and two points from their last six encounters with teams in the top half of the Serie A, while scoring four goals to nine against. Sao Paulo so far pulled off a record of six wins, four draws and four defeats in the Serie A this season. Santos enjoy a record of four wins, four draws and six defeats in the Serie A.
