São Paulo form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, São Paulo have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 13 games.

A good away victory last time out for São Paulo, who won 2-0 against Ceara (placed 15th). At last, a league victory after four matches without. Welington was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.82 out of 10. The defender Welington hit three key passes and won 11 of 16 duels.

Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil. Paulo are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 6 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 3, drew 3 and lost 0.

Sports bettors who like betting for low-scoring matches might like knowing that this team have played 5 league rounds in a row with two goals or less (under 2.5).

A decent goal production from São Paulo in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 13 league matches. São Paulo's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Avaí form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Avaí so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-9 (win-draw-lose).

Avaí go into this game after a win, the home game against Atletico Mineiro that ended 1-0. Eureka; their first three points in the league after nine matches not winning. Vaz, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.93. Vaz won 3 of 4 duels.

A draw for Avaí before that, at their own venue hosting Atletico PR (1-1).

A tale of few goals? 9 of this side's most recent 11 league fixtures have had two goals or less.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Avaí as they have only managed to score 7 times from 13 away games in the league. Avaí's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

São Paulo have pulled off a streak of 5 consecutive matches without defeat (2-3-0) when playing Avaí.

Avaí - Paulo 1-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
