Sao Paulo vs Vasco Prediction & Betting Tips (17 October)

To say that Sao Paulo come into this contest in poor form would be somewhat of an understatement, with the Serie A Betano strugglers suffering 11 defeats in their previous 15 top-flight matches. Although Vasco have not been firing on all cylinders this season, the fact remains that the Vasco have enjoyed eight wins in their last 11 fixtures at this level.

Over the course of their most recent 19 top-flight home games, Sao Paulo have been involved in 14 encounters in which under 2.5 goals have been scored, including each of the last four. This has also been the case in 13 of the previous 16 Vasco away matches in the league, so there shouldn’t be any need to dust down when these two teams lock horns.

Over the course of their previous 18 matches at this elite level of the Serie A Betano, Sao Paulo have been involved in no fewer than 14 contests in which at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet. This has also been the case in 16 of the last 19 Vasco away games in the top-flight, so don’t expect the net to bulge at both ends in this encounter.
