Sao Paulo – Palmeiras : Preview & Prediction
Palmeiras, winners of the last Copa Libertadores, seem to be in full confidence at the start of the season. Abel Ferreira’s side are leading the way in the Brazilian league. After just 12 games, they are top of the table, three points clear of Corinthians, but with a goal difference that is already very favourable. So far, Palmeiras have only suffered one defeat in the league. That was on the opening day against Ceara (3-2). The leaders have now gone eleven games without defeat, and they expect to continue their unbeaten run. They are now on an eleven-game unbeaten streak and will be looking to continue this run when they travel to Sao Paulo next. It is not an easy match for the league leaders. Their opponents are in fifth place. However, they are not exactly brimming with confidence ahead of this match. Sao Paulo have just lost at Botafogo (1-0). This is not the best way to approach this game.
