Palmeiras take on the visitors Sao Paulo in the round of last 16 in Copa do Brasil. First leg result: 0-1. The match will be played on Friday, July 15th at Allianz Parque (Sao Paulo).
Palmeiras has been pretty disappointing in the domestic arena lately. The "Piglets" at the moment has a certain status of a two-time winner in a row in the Cope Libertadores. And they not only successfully started a new draw in the current tournament - so far they manage to maintain a 100% result. Without losing points in the group stage matches, in the 1/8 finals, the Brazilians dealt with Cerro Porteno without any problems. Already in Paraguay it was 3-0, and the opponent's houses were simply torn apart, scoring 5 unanswered goals. At the same time, in the domestic arena, they limp on both legs in the summer. And it all started just from 0-1 in the cup. Then the leader lost a lot of points in Serie A. At the weekend, Abel Ferreira's wards went to Fortaleza. And even with an underdog, the match ended up in a goalless draw.

Sao Paulo is still playing better than last season. The Tricolors have not achieved anything intelligible over the past decade, since the only victory in the history of the Copa Sudamericana. And winning in the Brazilian Serie A, the last triumph dates back to 2008. The last championship ended in 13th place at all - to calm the fans, after this they returned to the post of head coach, Rogerio Seni. He was a legendary goalkeeper, with a well-deserved reputation as a scorer, but so far the mentor has had quite modest achievements. In general, it has benefited the team. It is also successful within the framework of the Copa Sudamericana: the Brazilians won their group, after which they passed without any problems in the first round of the playoffs against Universidad Catolica. There was some progress in the championship too. 0-0 with Atlético Mineiro extended their unbeaten run to 3 rounds in a row.
As part of this season, this will be the 6th confrontation between the clubs. Palmeiras won three times, including in the decisive match of the Paulista final (4-0 after 1-3 away). Sao Paulo has won twice, including 1-0 in the first leg of this round. Sao Paulo will try to defend their advantage. And not the fact that Palmeiras will be able to overcome the resistance of the visitors. We bet on "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
