International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both São Paulo and Ayacucho are looking forward to this Copa Sudamericana fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
These teams have little in common geographically as Ayacucho have to travel 4000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither São Paulo nor Ayacucho as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
São Paulo form and stats
As mentioned below, São Paulo are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Serie A games.
An away draw last time out for São Paulo, facing Corinthians in a game that ended 1-1. Midfielder Nestor was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.62 (out of ten) in that game. Nestor hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Paulo have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 4 games found in the database showing 4 São Paulo wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for São Paulo, as the Serie A home game vs Ceara is only three days away.
Paulo are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo in their league games, having scored an impressive 8 goals in 3 matches. São Paulo are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Ayacucho form and stats

aweayteam Hara magic won.
7 goals so far away for Ayacucho, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 14. All from 7 league matches away.
