Betting on Sao Paulo
Sao Paulo didn’t have the best start in their country’s top division championship, as they were defeated by Botafogo in the first round with a score of 2-1. However, they don’t expect this result to affect their performance in this cup, where they had a promising start by defeating Tigre as visitors.
Now, they return home to try to earn three more points, although their performance at home hasn’t been the best lately, as they haven’t won in their last three matches in all competitions.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Rafael; Rafinha, Robert Arboleda, Alan Franco, Caio Paulista; Jhegson Mendez; Michel Araujo, Rodrigo Nestor, Luciano, Wellington Rato; Jonathan Calleri.
Betting on Puerto Cabello
Puerto Cabello’s La Academia is killing it in the Venezuelan soccer scene, holding the top spot in the general table with 28 points, a whopping 11 points ahead of their closest competitor. However, they took a major hit in the Copa Sudamericana, getting beat 0-2 by Tolima on their own turf.
But don’t count them out just yet! They’re coming off a solid win against Hermanos Colmenarez, taking them down 1-0 last Friday. This just proves the massive gap in performance between them and the rest of the clubs in the First Division Championship in their country. Get ready to see some serious skills on display!
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Luis Romero; Santiago Gómez, Carlos Rivero, Edwin Peraza, José Luis Granados; Junior Cedeño, Gideon Iliya, Richard Figueroa, Danny Pérez; Alfredo Stephens, Luifer Hernández.
JefeBet Prediction
Sao Paulo has faced three Venezuelan teams in a total of six games, and they haven’t lost any of them. They have achieved five victories and a tie against Trujillanos. What’s even better is that they have scored a total of 18 goals and have only conceded three. They plan to maintain this superiority in this upcoming match.
With these excellent statistics and playing on their home turf, at JefeBet we expect Sao Paulo to perform well in this game, which is part of the second most important continental competition, corresponding to the second round.
