The struggle to escape mediocrity continues for the Tricolor Paulista who were unable to hold their one-goal advantage over Botafogo last week in the final fifteen minutes of the 2-2 full-time playout. While Sao Paulo remains a decent team, they have only raked in four points from four games, hanging in the balance with zero goal difference; having scored and conceded three goals.
There is a general improvement in the Sao Paulo gameplay, and the impressed fans have witnessed the man at the helm of affairs, Luis Zubeldia, express outbursts to the third and fourth officials both on and off the pitch, eventually earning a yellow card.
São Paulo: Lineup
Currently, everyone in the home camp is walking eggshells, including Coach Luis Zubeldia who got a yellow card for incessant interruptions in-game against Botafogo. Injuries also beguile the squad, with ex-Spurs phenom, Lucas Moura, Luiz Gustavo, Pablo Maia, and Oscar ruled to the sidelines due to injuries.
Regardless, a couple of phenomenal performances were recorded against Botafogo. Firstly, goalie Rafael was excellent with outrageous double saves on more than one occasion. Marcos Antonio was on point with passes and interceptions. Ferreira remains a huge goal threat in the midfield, testing the wits of the opposing goalkeeper and eventually scoring.
🔖 Lineup: Rafael, A.Franco-Arboleda-Ferraresi, Wendell-Alisson-M.Antonio-C.Soares, Ferreira-M.Alves, J.Calleri.
⛔️ Out: Pablo Maia, Oscar, Luiz Gustavo, Lucas Moura
👤 Head Coach: Luis Zulbeldia

Form: L-D-L-W
Despite the recent 2-0 victory against Atletico Mineiro, gross instability rocks The Fish, who have not begun the season as expected especially with the signing of the prince who never became a king, Neymar Junior.
The goals came quickly for Santos, with the first being a spillage from the corner kick and the second being a square play from a counter rush. In spite of the win, there is still a need to polish their skills up front as a lot of goal-scoring chances were wasted due to poor ball control and finishing techniques.
Santos FC: Lineup
A new exhibition was displayed last week, probably due to the brief inclusion of the ex-Al Hilal flop Neymar Junior, who received an injury knock in the first half. The fans witnessed a general upgrade in the pitch exhibition with honorable mentions to Guilherme, Ivaldo, Barreal, Schmidt, and Goalie Brazao.
Coach Cesar Campos seems to have unlocked a new level of enthusiasm in these players who played rather poorly in the first three games. Santos's 4-2-3-1 layout eventually plays into a 4-4-1-1, with the attacking midfielder dynamically playing alongside the striker as a supporting striker.
As we saw against Mineiro, it seems the plan is to have options in the flanks while simultaneously having an impregnable midfield. Unless they slack in concentration, it looks like up for Santos FC, given the times.
🔖Starting XI: Brazao, Ivaldo-Gil-Escobar-Godoy, Schmidt-Bontempo, Guilherme-Rollheiser-Barreal, Tiquinho
⛔️ Out: Neymar Jr (injured), Yeferson Soteldo (injured)
👤 Head Coach: Carlos César Sampaio Campos

São Paulo vs Santos match prediction 20, APRIL 2025
Although Sao Paulo plays the game with a strictly conservative style, It is highly unlikely that a stalemate will ensue at full-time because of Santos’ attacking volumes. Although we do not envisage frequent alterations on the scoresheet reading. Juxtaposing Sao Paulo’s home form and Santos’s away wretchedness, it may be safe to conclude that many goals will not be recorded in this game.
+ Our initial prediction is BTTS-NO at 1.63 odds from Betway’s page.
+ Our second prediction is a stalemate at 3.16 odds from 1xBet.
+ Finally, our last option will be under 6.5 cards at 1.80 odds from Bet365.
