A key match in Serie A as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Palmeiras in 5th position and São Paulo placed 4th, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Palmeiras and São Paulo.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Palmeiras form and stats
Palmeiras have played 6 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-4-0 (wins-draws-losses). The Palmeiras fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Allianz Parque and will expect new points from this game. Palmeiras has played 15 games in a row here without a defeat.
No payout for Palmeiras in their previous match, an away game at Botafogo that ended in defeat 1-2. Before that, Palmeiras had a home game versus Ceara which ended with a victory 2-1.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Willian for missing a penalty kick versus Botafogo in the 82nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Palmeiras, as the Serie A home game vs Coritiba is only four days away.
A decent goal production from Palmeiras in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 6 league matches. 7 goals have been conceded.
São Paulo form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for São Paulo so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose). One point away has become something of a habit for Paulo who have played out draws in their last three away games.
São Paulo won their last game, 3-0 versus Atletico GO played at home. Before that, São Paulo travelled to Coritiba and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Ceara.
Paulo find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. As for defending, Paulo rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 9 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Palmeiras won six, São Paulo won zero and four draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
