Bragantino form and stats

The hosts won their first Serie A game here at Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Bragantino last season were 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses from 6 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Bragantino after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Bragantino are returning here after visiting Goias in a Copa do Brasil match and winning with a 2-1 scoreline.

Previous to that game, a Serie A home match hosting Atletico GO in a game that was won 4-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Bragantino have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won three, drawn zero and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bragantino as they are travelling to their away game against Estudiantes in the Copa Libertadores. That match is three days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Bragantino's 1 home game: 4 goals, 0 conceded.

São Paulo form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Serie A ended in defeat. Last season São Paulo had these away match statistics: Played 6; won 4, drew 0 and lost 2. São Paulo seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

It's another away fixture for the visitors, as they travelled to Juventude in their previous outing. The Copa do Brasil duel ended 2-2. Defender Reinaldo was the best team player with a rating of 7.63. Reinaldo scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 3 of 6 duels.

It was a Serie A defeat before that one as the away game against Flamengo wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with São Paulo playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two São Paulo wins, two draws and five defeats.

1 goal so far away for São Paulo, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Bragantino-São Paulo H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Bragantino five wins, São Paulo four wins, one draw. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
