Sao Paulo have scored two or more goals in all of their recent 4 home matches while they've only let in 7 goals in their last 18 games. No doubt they'll see this clash as an opportunity to keep another clean sheet.

Creating chances away from their own soil has proved to be a challenge for the visitors. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 12 away matches. Despite these stats suggesting they are struggling to find form, be aware that this is not a strong prediction. You can't be too sure.
