Sao Paulo vs Ceara Prediction & Expert Tips

Sao Paulo vs Ceara Preview

Sao Paulo were haunted by their woes again when they lost 1-0 to Santos in their recent fixture. The hosts played catch-up throughout the match as they were outclassed in all major metrics during the game. Kudos to goalkeeper, Young who kept his team in the game by making crucial saves. However, his efforts weren’t enough as the team eventually lost all three points, recording their second defeat in three league matches.

Bouncing back will be Herman Crespo’s priority and his work should be made lighter by his team’s five-game winning at the Estadio Cicero Pompeu de Toledo in the league. Sao Paulo’s defensive performances has been near perfect as well, with four goals conceded and three clean sheets in their last six league games.

Meanwhile, it has not been rosy for Ceara who extended their winless streak to five games, following their 1-1 draw with Bahia last weekend. Despite enjoying the lower share of the ball possession, Ceara created numerous clear cut chances in the final third but failed to convert them. The day was saved by the defensive department who made 9 interceptions, 37 recoveries, and 26 clearances.

After drawing their last two matches, Ceara will look to turn these draws into a win when they visit Sao Paulo. The quest will be fueled by their failure to win any of their last four away matches across all competitions (2D, 2L). Ceara sit in 12th place with 28 points from 24 games, failure to win here could see them out of the Sudamericana qualification spots.

Sao Paulo vs Ceara Prediction

We do not see any these teams edging out the other as both teams are struggling to find their feet in recent games. Also, Ceara drew three of their last four matches and seven of the last ten head-to-head meetings between the two teams ended in a draw. So, a draw is highly probable in this match.

Also, we back both teams to score as this occured in eight of the last ten head-to-head meetings between the two teams. Lastly, under 2.5 goals is highly likely as the last ten meetings between the two teams averaged 2.1 goals. This pick is also backed by Ceara’s last six games that averaged 1.5 goals per game
