Palmeiras: 16
Draw: 14
Sao Paulo started the season in a great way as they had the chance to collect consecutive 3 points in the beginning. Despite their standing in the top 6 of the Brasileiro Serie A, Sao Paulo’s recent form is not one to guarantee an advanced spot in the table. In their last 5 games, Sao Paulo only managed to register a single win which was against America MG with 3 consecutive defeats before that. In their last league fixture, they lost against Botafogo. In order to hold on to their position and take a Libertadores spot for next season, Sao Paulo players should focus more on their team play and start collecting points.
On the other hand, Palmeiras are on a fantastic run. Before a couple of matchdays, Corinthians faced a shocking defeat against Cuiaba and that is where Palmeiras took advantage and climbed the ladder to be the leaders of the league. Considering their recent form, Palmeiras’ last loss was before 18 games, to be exact, on April 10, 2021, against Ceara. Their recent form is amazing and they are back on a 3 game-winning streak. If Palmeiras continue their form they are expected to be the favorites to clinch the Brasileiro Serie A title and take the first ticket to next season’s Copa Libertadores.
Both teams need the points, however, after a big battle, the game might end fair and square. We expect a draw result at the end of the game with odds of 3.10 from Sportsbet.io.
The Brazilian striker from Palmeiras is still on his fire as he keeps scoring goals and helping his team. We expect Roni to add more numbers to his 6 goals which made him the top scorer of the team.
Sao Paulo will have 4 players sidelined against Palmeiras. Alisson with a sprained knee injury, Colorado with a thigh injury, and Sara and Nikao with ankle injuries.
On the other hand, Palmeiras’ list of injuries includes Jailson with an ACL injury, Jorge with a knee injury, and Rocha and Veiga with thigh injuries.
Sao Paulo: Jandrei, Diego, Arboleda, Leo, Rafinha, GOmes, Nestor, Wellington, Patrick, Neves, Calleri.
Palmeiras: Weverton, Gomez, Garcia, Cerqueira, Piquerez, Danilo, Rafael, Dudu, Scarpa, Veron, Roni.
