Competition: Brazil Serie A
Market: Sao Paulo win
Odds: 19/20 @ BetUS
Looking to make it four victories on the bounce in midweek, Sao Paulo will welcome Fluminense to the Morumbi in the early hours on Tuesday.
Starting with the hosts, while Sao Paulo might have opened the new Serie A campaign in the midst of a minor blip, the Tricolor have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Last seen making another statement in Copa Liberadores over the weekend as they breezed their way to a 3-1 romp away at Chilean outfit Cobresal, Luis Zubeldia’s men should find the mood in their camp at a season-high. With their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine top-six charge this time around, the one-time Alaves boss has seen his squad win all of their previous three appearances across all competitions. Likewise, opening May with another dominant performance as they landed a 3-1 win away at Vitoria, Sao Paulo have certainly found a recent clinical edge in the final third. Along with extending on their Copa do Brazil adventure earlier in the month as they secured a third consecutive 3-1 victory against Aguia De Maraba, Zubeldia’s side have bagged at least a pair of goals in five of their last six outings.
As for the visitors, although Fluminense might have secured their own Copa Liberadores victory over the weekend as they landed a 1-0 win away at Colo Colo, Fernando Diniz’s men have struggled to find any kind of domestic stability since opening up the new campaign. Signing off April with a routine 3-0 drumming at the hands of Corinthians, the former Santos boss has seen his squad collect just a single win from any of their first five Serie A appearances this season. It should also be noted, continuing on from last season, the midweek guests have remarkably claim just a sole top-flight victory away from the Maracana from any of their last 18 consecutive outings – a rut that stems all the way back over the past 12 months. Facing what should be another tricky test in the early hours of Tuesday, Fluminense should also be concerned by a lacklustre record at the Morumbi. Including a 1-0 loss when they last travelled to Sao Paulo 10 months ago, they have failed to win any of their previous four trips.
