Sao Paulo will be desperate to bounce back from a previous 2-1 defeat away from home at Bahia last time out in the domestic top flight when they return to their Estádio Cícero Pompeo de Toledo for this upcoming clash against Vasco da Gama on Thursday night.
In their previous game on home soil, Sao Paulo registered a 2-1 home win against Argentinian outfit Talleres in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores and no doubt coach Luis Zubeldia will be urging his side on to recreate that positive result in this midweek match in order to lift his side further up the Serie A standings.
Sao Paulo have been a tough customer to beat on home soil so far this season though as the hosts possess a stubborn looking home record that stands at 2-3-1 5/5.
Vasco da Gama occupy 15th place in the Brazilian Serie A table, being two places and two points below their upcoming hosts and they too head into this midweek encounter on the back of a defeat in the domestic top flight.
The visitors were dealt a disappointing but understandable 2-0 loss at home to high-flying Bragantino and having collected just one win in their last eight games overall in Serie A, Fernando Diniz’s side look to have their work cut out for this upcoming trip to the Estádio Cícero Pompeo de Toledo.
Indeed, Vasco da Gama have slipped to six defeats within these previous eight games while their singular success during this period came in the shape of a 3-0 home win against Fortaleza, but the visitors have lost all five of their away games to date this term within a poor away record of 0-0-5 3/10.
The Betting Verdict
Sao Paulo have won six of the last seven meetings at home against Vasco da Gama.
The Pick :
Sao Paulo 2-1 Vasco da Gama
