Sao Paulo vs Goias Prediction: Betting on a solid Tricolor win

San Paolo will face Goias in the 19th round of the Brazilian national football championship. The team that is a contender for a place in the top six will face a mid-table side on home soil. Naturally, Sao Paulo should be the favourite.

After a tough battle with Palmeiras in the Brazilian Cup, the team played two matches in Serie A, both of which ended in a draw. First, the hosts missed out on a 2:2 draw with Fluminense, before losing their away game against Internacional (3:3). In the Premiership table, they are 10th in the South American Cup, five points behind the Libertadores Cup. Their home statistics are only 12th in the division, but the Tricolores have a 50% win record and only one defeat on a 14:8 goal difference.

After relegation from the Brazilian Cup, Goias played two league games (an away draw with Juventude and a 2:3 home defeat to Fluminense). Goias is 14th in the league table, three points ahead of relegation-third-placed AC America. On the road, Goias has the 13th statistic in the division, +2=2-5, 6:11 goal difference.

Goias has poor away statistics, and it's time for Sao Paulo to end their unbeaten streak, and the Tricolor have the task of making it to the Libertadores Cup. We believe that now the home side has an excellent opportunity to improve their position in the standings by beating the average Brazilian. As for the total, we don't expect a high score from the upcoming game.
