The league table in Serie A tells a story about these teams so far, with Sao Paulo leading CSA by 16 points. Match preview to follow:

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

CSA have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

São Paulo form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, São Paulo have managed 4 wins, 5 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 9 games.

The fans are hoping that São Paulo will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Serie A game against Internacional (placed 6th). In the match before that, São Paulo hosted Grêmio and drew the game 0-0.

São 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 seven matches and the win/draw/lost stats: W4-D2-L1.

The São Paulo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. São Paulo have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

CSA form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for CSA, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Serie A, so far with only 5 Serie A points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose).

CSA won their last game, 2-0 versus Chapecoense played at home. A 0-1 defeat away at Bahia before that.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where CSA played away with similar odds. This revealed five games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 1 time, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 3 times.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from CSA's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 8 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as CSA have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

São Paulo-CSA H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: São Paulo 3 wins, CSA 0 wins, 0 draws. 1 of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
