Serie A statistics are the foundation of the predictions you'll find below, with head-to-head records included too. It's all on this page, with graphics and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers available for the biggest betting markets via the tabs.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but we don't predict a high-scoring affair here. The stats suggest Corinthians and Sao Paulo both struggle to score on a consistent basis, and the odds suggest it's likely there's fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals feels like the right bet on this match.
