Sao Paulo v Athletico PR : Serie A match betting preview, prediction and odds

Thu 23rd Jul, 01:30 BST, Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo, São Paulo

Dorival Silvestre Júnior's Sao Paulo side enjoy home advantage in the Serie A on Thursday morning, as Odair Hellmann's Athletico PR arrive at the Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo. You'll see statistics supporting our top of under 3.5 goals below, but be sure to take a look at the 16 other betting markets we cover too. Each has been designed to give you as full a picture as possible, with Serie A performances and head to heads (H2Hs) included, so that you feel able to make a well-informed bet. Finally, be sure to get the best odds and bet smart.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this game will have more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Sao Paulo and Athletico PR have rarely been involved in thrillers of late, whether that be in Serie A individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.22.
