Vitoria vs Sao Paulo tips and predictions

Serie A match offers big price for Vitoria triumph

This looks like a high-calibre match-up but the visiting team is definitely being overestimated. The home side is capable of denying them the win.

The hosts are going into the match having registered 10 home wins from their last 13. It'll be an upset if Vitoria win but it's a fixture that smacks of banana skin for Sao Paulo.

Vitoria will need to focus on the task in hand if they are to continue causing problems. The home players are finding some form at their own ground. They have scored three or more goals in 8 of their recent 11 home matches while backing that up with good defensive stats. They are only conceding an average of 0.6 goals over their last 20 games at home.

Sao Paulo have not enjoyed some of their recent journeys. They actually conceded two or more goals in 3 of their last 6 away matches. If there are issues, maybe they have crept into performances at the other end of the pitch. The visitors haven't been able to fall back on on their play-makers in some of their recent engagements. They've been goalless in 1 of their last 3 matches.

For the hosts, the tactics on their own paddock will be clear to see. If they can open up Sao Paulo on the counter-attack then they are going to start to like their chances.

Sao Paulo are the favoured side but things will get interesting if Vitoria can catch them on the wrong foot. It's not that obvious but the Yes BTTS bet is the hesitant side bet.
