Sao Paulo hosts Fortaleza in round 12 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, July 17th at Estádio do Morumbi (Sao Paulo)
The six-time Brazilian champion is far from fighting for victory in Serie A in the current season. After 11 rounds, Sao Paulo is in 14th place. And two rounds ago, the Faith Team was in the relegation zone. The team got out of there thanks to two consecutive victories. In the 10th round, Sao Paulo beat Internacional (0-2) and then dealt with Bahia (1-0). Low production is typical for the last matches of Sao Paulo. More than two goals were scored in only one of the last five games. Bookmakers give a coefficient of 1.59 for Under 2.5 goals scored. After a goalless draw against Corinthians in the 8th round, Sao Paulo players have scored in four games in a row, including in the match versus Racing in the Copa Libertadores. Interestingly, Paulista Tricolor scored first in each of those four matches. And only in two of them did the team manage to retain the advantage and win. Let’s note that the players of Sao Paulo scored in the first half in three of four games.

After 11 games played, Fortaleza is in the fourth position. The gap to the leading Palmeiras is only four points. The Tricolors have stumbled twice in the last five league matches. The weak point of Fortaleza is away performance. In the 7th round, the team tied against Gremio (0-0), and the 9th round ended in a defeat to Athletico Paranaense (1-2). At home, the Tricolors are doing great. They gained three victories in a row. And in the last two matches, Fortaleza did not concede at all (4-0 with America Mineiro and 1-0 with Corinthians). The Tricolors have scored two goals in their last four away games. And not a single one in the first half.
Fortaleza scores in away games every other time. According to the logic of previous rounds, now the Tricolors should not leave their names on the scoreboard. But it is in the game against Sao Paulo that they have a chance to disrupt the usual course of events. The Faith Team has conceded in four of their last five home games. At the same time, Sao Paulo scored at least once in each of five cases. So, we recommend betting on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
