Betting on São Paulo Futebol Clube
The team from Sao Paulo is currently in 8th place in the rankings with 12 points, six behind the leader, Botafogo. In seven games played, it has won three, drawn three, and lost one, while scoring 12 goals and conceding six (one more than Santos, who has the least goals conceded).
Last weekend, Sao Paulo convincingly defeated Vasco da Gama 4-2 at home. In that match, it had 52% possession of the ball, and although it attempted fewer shots on goal than its opponent (15 vs 17), the team was much more accurate (7 vs 4). Moreover, it committed fewer fouls (9 vs 16) and defended well against the large number of corners against it (3 vs 9).
The same fate awaited Sao Paulo in the match against Puerto Cabello in the Copa Sudamericana. During its trip to Venezuelan soil, the team displayed its credentials and won 2-0 with goals from Wellington Rato and, late in stoppage time, Alisson.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Rafael; Rafinha, Diego Costa, Beraldo and Caio Paulista; Gabriel Neves and Luan Santos; Rodrigo Néstor, Luciano and Marcos Paulo; and Jonathan Calleri.
Betting on Goias Esporte Clube
Goias is dangerously close to the relegation zone. With only seven points, it is just one point ahead of Vasco da Gama, two points ahead of Corinthians, and three points ahead of America MG, who is in the 17th, 18th and 19th positions, respectively. This team has only won two out of seven games, drew one and lost four times, and has only been able to score six goals while conceding 13.
Aside from its Copa Sudamericana match against Universitario de Peru, which it won 1-0 at home, Goias managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Bahia in the latest Brasileirao game, which was played away. Goias had 49% ball possession, attempted 13 shots at the goal and hit the target five times. It also committed fewer fouls (19 vs 13) and won more corners (4 vs 6).
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Tadeu; Maguinho, Lucas Halter, Bruno Melo and Sander; Diego, Zé Ricardo, Willian Oliveira and Alesson; Julián Palacios and Matheus Peixoto.
JefeBet Prediction
We have no doubt that this will be a very favorable duel for Sao Paulo, where Jonathan Calleri, its top scorer with three goals, could be the star. Looking ahead to this Sao Paulo vs Goias match, at JefeBet, we believe that the home team will take the three points.
Prediction: Sao Paulo wins (SPA 3 – GOI 0)
