Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but we're not predicting a goal-fest here. The statistics suggest Sao Paulo and Palmeiras both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think that's a great shout and, with no obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.

Goal Statistics

Palmeiras's defensive record is to be admired, Abel Fernando Moreira Ferreira's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive Serie A matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Sao Paulo makes sense in this context.
