Cruzeiro and Sao Paulo are set to battle in the 29th round of the Brazilian Serie A, a match highlighted by the push for continental football. Hosts Cruzeiro are a point below fifth, while 10th placed Sao Paulo are 10 points below the Copa Libertadores slots. Both have been poor defensively lately, and our prediction is for both to score.
Before going into the three-week break, Cruzeiro posted their 13th win in the league, beating Vitoria 3-1 away from home. It has been an on-and-off season for the hosts, but the motivation here will be to avenge their 4-1 defeat last time against Sao Paulo.
While in attack they’ve done well, Cruzeiro are struggling in defence, and both teams scored in each of their last five games.
Sao Paulo are going through similar struggles in defence, They have a +1 goal difference after scoring 33 goals. Four of their goals came in the reverse fixture, and they will hope for the same here.
Ahead of the international break, they suffered a 2-1 loss against Santos and will be looking to bounce back. The visitors recorded one clean sheet in the last five matches in all competitions.
That will not be a bigger concern than their run of 14 winless away matches, 10 being losses.
