Sao Paulo have a home date against Athletico Paranaense in the Brazilian Serie A this Thursday. The two sides had mixed results. The promoted side sits fifth in the league standings, three places and five points ahead of Sao Paulo. Three defeats in the last four league matches don’t place Sao Paulo in a strong position, and our prediction is for an away win.
Sao Paulo haven’t really been convincing even as they seek to return to the glory days that brought them three straight league titles from 2006-08. After 18 matches this season, they’ve managed just seven wins.
Their 1-0 loss to Remo last time out marked another low for Sampa, leaving them on 25 points, 16 behind the league leaders.
Athletico are doing well, having been promoted at the end of last season. They have shown their ambitions quite clearly and are well in the chase for a Copa Libertadores spot.
In their last two matches, they faced struggling sides, and as expected, they won. First on their chopping board was Remo, who took in a 2-1 beating before Mirassol's 1-0 loss.
An earlier draw with defending champions Flamengo will add to their confidence coming here. The visitors’ away form is somewhat concerning, having lost five of eight games, but the latest was their second win on the road this season.
