Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras

Sao Paulo are juggling Copa Libertadores and Paulista A1 fixtures, which is resulting in a busy schedule, with lots of travelling. This seems to have impacted the team who’s form has been relatively inconsistent of late. With 2 wins, a draw and 2 losses in their last 6.

They will take some confidence out of a solid 1-1 draw away to Argentine Boca Juniors midweek, but will be focused on getting 3 points after a disappointing 3-1 Paulista A1 loss to Sao Bernardo with an own goal from popular defender Bruno adding insult to injury.

Striker Ganso has been integral to the Sao Paulo side of late, who have averaged a goal a game in their last 6 matches. Ganso has been involved in every single one of these contributing 4 goals and two assists.  They will be hoping he can perform here and help them move up to first place in their Paulista A1 group, as they’re currently tied on points with overachieving Ferroviaria.

Palmeiras have been strong on the road of late winning 2, drawing 2 and losing just 1 of their last 6 games. They’ve been amongst the goals netting 12 times in their last 6. Veteran striker Alecsandro has been in good form netting 4 goals in their last 7 matches.

After a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Uruguayan Nacional in the Copa Libertadores midweek, Palmeiras will be looking to change their fortunes, and strengthen their position at the top of their Paulista A1 group. Their last Paulista A1 game saw them easily beat strugglers Capivariano 4-1 at home.
