Why Bet on São Paulo?
The locals come from a long unbeaten run, leading them to four wins, three draws, and two losses record. Their recent momentum has slowed down, due to a pair of draws in their latest matches, but they are in good form and within reach of the top four.
The Paulistas are having a nice revival season after many years at the doldrums. However, they started to lose momentum at the worst possible time, failing to take advantage of the slips from the top teams. Before their recent draws, Luis Zubeldia’s men had notched three straight wins to place them in a promising situation.
While São Paulo remains undefeated in seven league matches, the fifth-placed side must take this opportunity against a team at the bottom of the table, although one that looks dangerous currently.
Why Bet on Cuiabá?
The visitors for this clash will be the 14th-placed Cuiabá, who are trying to get back into good form but must improve from two wins, one draw, and six losses. However, on a positive note, they got their draw and two wins in their last four matches, delivering a remarkable improvement.
Sunday’s 5-0 hammering of Fortaleza showed a different face than that of the first weeks of the season. Even though Petit had to wait a month for his first league win since replacing Luiz Fernando Lubel, the Portuguese boss has succeded in changing the team’s momentum.
After initial struggles to find the back of the net under the former Portugal international, the Dourado has been in top goalscoring form over recent weeks, with eleven goals in their last three games. Remember that they failed to convert in their first six matches.
Betting Analysis: São Paulo vs. Cuiabá
The away fans will be confident of adding to their increasing goal tally on Wednesday despite the hosts keeping two clean sheets in their last three games for the Brasileirão.
We also must add that four of the six league meetings between São Paulo and Cuiaba have ended in stalemates, with both clubs sharing a win apiece.
A fifth draw could be on the cards, as Petit’s men carry a different kind of threat recently.However, we’ll side with the locals this time and go for a 3-2 win.
Go for a victory for the Paulistas at 1.59. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $59 for a total payout of $159.
