São Paulo

DDLLLD ⚠

São Paulo prepare for this fixture coming off the back of a 1-1 Copa Sudamericana tied result versus Millonarios.

In that game, São Paulo managed 62% possession and 15 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for São Paulo was Luciano (9'). For their opponents, Millonarios had 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Jorge Cabezas (81') scored for Millonarios.

It’s been seldom in recent games that São Paulo have shown defensive steel. The reality is that São Paulo have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 11 goals during that time. That kind of trend might not be carried forward into this next game, though.

🗞️ Team News: Boston River

Thanks to a mainly full-strength squad, there’s just the one fitness problem for the Boston River manager Jádson Viera to be concerned about. Fredy Martínez (Broken collarbone) won’t be in action.

⚡ Prediction

It’s pretty clear that Boston River will have a tough assignment to put one past a São Paulo lineup who have all the attributes to score a lot of goals.

We reckon that it will be a 3-0 winning scoreline for São Paulo at the end of this one.
