Sao Bento vs Londrina Predictions

Sao Bento beat Brasil de Pelotas 3-1 at home last time out and know they simply have to win their last two games to stand any chance of beating the drop this season, but the odds are well against them. Londrina could only manage a 1-1 draw at home with Botafogo and sit three points clear from safety and haven’t won any of their last six matches.

All of the stats suggest that we will see both teams score on Thursday and we have backed Sao Bento to claim all three points courtesy of a narrow 2-1 win.

Sao Bento won the last meeting between these two clubs in August and both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in each of the pairs; last two encounters, so you can begin to see why we have backed the hosts to win on Thursday.

Sao Bento are the form favourites with one win, three draws, and two defeats from their last six matches, while Londrina have lost five and drawn one of their last six matches. The visitors have lost twelve league games away from home this season, while the hosts have won six times in their own backyard so far.

The performances of both clubs over the season add weight to our prediction for a 2-1 win for Sao Bento, as both teams scored in each of the host’s last six matches and Sao Bento have scored two or more goals in five of their home games in the league this season, while Londrina have conceded two goals in three of their last six matches, all of which ended in defeat.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of the hosts. Sao Bento aren’t in the best of form right now but they still head into Thursday’s clash as the form favourites due to their guests miserable run in Serie B of late. Londrina have three more points on the board than their hosts but have already lost to Sao Bento this season. The hosts head into this game on the back of a win in their last home game and know they simply must win to keep their faint hopes of survival alive.
