Bragantino v Sao Paulo

Bragantino vs Sao Paulo Preview

Bragantino will be going in search of collecting a fourth league win on the trot in the Brazilian Serie A on Sunday afternoon when they entertain Sao Paulo in what is a top seven clash in the domestic top flight, while Sao Paulo will be keen to get back on an even keel after a few recent defeats.

Three wins on the trot in recent weeks have helped lift Bragantino up into fifth place in the Serie A standings thanks to victories over Flamengo, Goias and Corinthians respectively, while the bigger picture shows Bragantino have been dealt just the one defeat out of their last 10 matches overall, that being a 2-1 loss away from home at Fluminense.

Five wins within this 10-match sequence includes four wins being achieved on home soil with earlier victories gained over Athletico PR and Santos and five of these 10 games also resulted in both teams scoring.

Bragantino have won their last four home games on the trot but they may face a tougher task in the shape of Sao Paulo who have moved up into seventh place in the table.

Sao Paulo currently occupy a place in the Copa Sudamericana spots but the visitors are level on points with sixth-placed Fluminense and just two points shy of the top four pack heading into this Sunday's clash at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid.

Despite losing three out of their last five games overall with defeats to Gremio, Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, two of which were away from home, Sao Paulo have maintained their challenge for a possible top four finish and a place in the lucrative Copa Libertadores for next season.

Standing in their way though are another side who have designs on Copa Libertadores football next term, Bragantino, and whilst Sao Paulo are challenging at the moment, they have their home form to thank to date.

Sao Paulo have won six of their seven home games so far this season but results away from home have been very disappointing to say the least; the visitors have yet to earn their first away win of this season, drawing three and losing three of their opening six outings on the road.

The goals market does appeal here though as six of Sao Paulo's last 10 away games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Bragantino v Sao Paulo Verdict

Bragantino look to hold the edge over Sao Paulo in this upcoming fixture as the hosts have won three of the last four meetings at home against their visitors but Sao Paulo cannot be ruled out from at least hitting the back of the net in this encounter, especially as Sao Paulo have scored in seven of their last nine outings on their travels.

Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score Yes @ 1.95
