Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras Preview and Betting Tips: Two Well Matched Teams to Cancel Each Other Out

With the Brazilian Serie A season just a couple of games in, Sao Paulo will be keen to build some early momentum at home to a Palmeiras side who have been one of the country’s most in-form outfits.

Match Preview

Ahead of our Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras preview, the home side managed by former goalkeeper Rogério Ceni have only won twice in seven fixtures in all competitions. Goalscoring has been the main problem for the team and a return of just six goals from their last seven games suggests a need to find a solution to the problem fast.

  • Corinthians 1-1 Sao Paulo - Paulista A1
  • Sao Paolo 1-1 Defensa y Justicia - Copa Sudamericana
  • Cruizero 1-0 Sao Paulo - Serie A
  • Sao Paulo 2-0 Avai - Serie A

Although they have lost twice in their last four games, it should be pointed out before our Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras predictions that the away side have won seven of their last ten across four separate competitions. Under head coach Cuca, Palmeiras have become a side that have developed up to a regular winning habit.

Although Palmeiras form has been generally impressive, one win from their last four games on the road will be a source of worry, and Cuca will hope his side can reverse that trend of dropping points away from home.

  • Wilstermann 3-2 Palmeiras - Copa Libertadores
  • Palmeiras 4-0 Vasco da Gama - Serie A
  • Palmeiras 1-0 Internacional - Copa de Brasil
  • Chapecoense 1-0 Palmeiras - Serie A

Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras Prediction and Betting Advice

Detailing our Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras tips is made all the trickier given the fact that Sao Paulo have won just once from four at home, mirroring Palmeiras recent away record. The away side haven’t kept a clean sheet in their previous ten away games, suggesting that Sao Paulo should score, despite their own poor recent return of goals.

It’s tough to separate these sides on paper, so I’m predicting the sides share a point a piece on the pitch. A score draw looks the most likely outcome on Saturday.
