Copa Sudamericana betting and spectator preview: Ayacucho and São Paulo meet at Estadio Nacional de Lima to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
These teams have little in common geographically as São Paulo have to travel 4000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
The visiting São Paulo played their last game only four days ago, a Paulista A1 match. That game, against Palmeiras, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for São Paulo.
Ayacucho form and stats
The story so far in the Primera Division for Ayacucho at their home stadium (Estadio Nacional de Lima) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
A nice win for Ayacucho last time playing, versus UTC Cajamarca. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Ardiles, Techera and Royón scoring for the victors.

Techera scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist and hit two key passes.
Before that, Ayacucho played out a Primera Division draw 0-0 when visiting ADT.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Primera Division game versus Universitario in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio Nacional de Lima.
Ayacucho have conceded 6 from these games.
São Paulo form and stats
São Paulo's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed São Paulo collect 12 points from their 6 away matches in the Paulista A1. 4 victories and 0 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
Two away games in a row for São Paulo, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Palmeiras.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Palmeiras in the Paulista A1.A quick return to home after this game, as Paulo are hosting Atletico PR in the Serie A only three days away.
