Sao Paulo vs Goias Match Preview

Sao Paulo seemed to be a title contender, but having only one win over the last five matches has made them drop to the 6th place with 35 points. The distance from the top is already 10 points, but they still are trying to enter the top four in order to play in next season's Copa Libertadores. It is true the recent results have been poor for Sao Paulo, but at their home they are still unbeaten and i dont think they will lose for first time this season against a team like Goias. They won three of the last five home games against Goias and in two of them fully covered the -1 handicap.

Goias, on the other hand, is ranked at the 12th place with 24 points. They come after two wins and three loses in the last five matches. The thing is both wins came at home, as on the road Goias has been awful so far in this season .They have lost seven out of ten away games and conceded 23 goals, averaging at least two goals per game being the worst away defense in the Brazilian Seriq A. Even on goals scored they are performing poorly with only five away goals so far. They are winless on the road for nine consecutive games.

In conclusion, I see Sao Paulo as the favorites to win here, since they play at home and have more than enough motivation to secure three points. Their rival's form away from home is another key factor that should help them win this.
