After falling behind in the title race, São Paulo looks to recover in a tricky visit against a needy Vasco da Gama.
The Cruzmaltino was one of the four G-12 clubs to recently fall into the relegation zone after their last defeat with Juventude.
The Paulistas surprisingly fell against a Cuibá on the rise and fell from the Copa Libertadores’ positions entirely.

Why Bet on Vasco da Gama?
The locals have a record of two wins, one draw, and seven losses, being the worst defense of the Brasileirão with 21 goals against.
Back a little over a month ago, when Vasco da Gama managed to beat Vitória on May 12, the club’s supporters probably hoped that the 2-1 triumph would be the fillip required for a return to form. However, the Cruzmaltino have not built on that success, underlined by three losses and a draw over the following four matches which sees them ranked 16th, just above Corinthians thanks to winning one more game.
With seven goals in ten games, only third-bottom Grêmio (six) has netted fewer than Vasco. Adding their terrible defense, it’s clear that the team will fall to last place sooner than later if they don’t give a complete turn-around.
Why Bet on São Paulo?
The visitors are trying to recover the level they had in May to improve their four wins, three draws, and three losses record. They are two points behind the 6th placed Cruzeiro, and three points apart from entering the top four.
São Paulo hopes to take advantage of their hosts’ awful defensive record when they seek to halt a three-match winless sequence on Saturday night. Despite failing to win in back-to-back league games (two draws), Luis Zubeldia’s men were undefeated in 13 matches in all competitions (seven in the league) before facing Petit’s Cuiabá.
However, the Tricolor Paulista suffered a shocking 1-0 loss on their turf to inflict the club’s first loss since Zubeldia’s appointment in late April.
Betting Analysis: Vasco da Gama vs. São Paulo
In the previous eight games between these teams, there have been only two wins for the Cruzmaltino. The Paulistas got four triumphs, while the other two matches ended in ties. Precisely, their last game was a 0-0 draw.
While São Paulo has struggled for goals and results recently, they should muster enough chances to nick one against a Vasco side with the leakiest rearguard in the Brasileirão. We’ll see the away side extend their undefeated run against their opponents to six matches in all competitions.
This time, we’ll bet on a 0-1 victory for the visitors.
Go for a win for São Paulo at 2.32. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $132 for a total payout of $232.
