Why Bet on São Paulo?

São Paulo is in eighth position with 15 points after 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, and all these wins have been achieved at home, where in 5 games they have only 1 loss and it was precisely last week against Palmeiras by 0 -2.

Dorival Júnior’s team has 2 defeats in a row in the Brasileirão but they know that they are strong at the Morumbi stadium. In addition, the last time these two teams met in São Paulo territory, the Tricolor won 4-0 with a hat-trick by Jonathan Calleri, the team’s top scorer this year.

Alexandre Pato, who arrived at the end of last year, has not yet been able to make his debut with the team in this third stage due to an injury. This weekend he was training at the club, however, it is unlikely that he will be there for this Wednesday.

Why Bet on Athletico Paranaense?

In recent days, Athletico Paranaense has been in great humor due to activities off the pitch, as its young striker, Vitor Roque, is very close to moving to Barcelona for around 40 million euros.

Without a doubt, it is great news for both the player and the club and if it is completed, it would be necessary to see what the Catalan team wants to do, if they are going to take him now or let him stay for some time, since the 18-year-old attacker is the scorer of the team this year with 4 goals in the Brasileirão and 1 in the Copa Libertadores. They would certainly have to think about how to replace him.

As far as the local tournament is concerned, they are in seventh position with 16 points, 14 goals scored and 13 scored. They have won 5 games, drawn 1, and lost 4, while away they were able to beat Internacional (0-2), drew with América Mineiro (2-2) last week, and lost to Fluminense (2-0), Atlético Mineiro (2-1) and Red Bull Bragantino (2-0).

Final Betting Analysis: São Paulo vs. Athletico Paranaense

They are two teams that have not shown many interesting things, and much more is expected of them because they should be fighting for the title. The possible transfer to Barcelona (and the pressure that comes with it) may affect the young Vitor Roque who is being the star of the team and in the last 3 games he has either scored (2) or assisted (1). We believe that São Paulo will be able to take advantage of this and will win.

The numbers at MyBookie.ag have São Paulo as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows -130, meanwhile Athletico Paranaense has +320 and the draw is +225.

The last time they met was on July 31 of last year and Athletico Paranaense won 1-0 with a goal from Vitor Bueno, while the last time they played at Morumbi was on April 10, 2022, and the winner was Sao Paulo for 4-0. At home, the Tricolor has 2 wins and 1 draw against the Furacão in the last 3 matches.

Go for a straight win for São Paulo in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at -130, you will gain $77 for a total payout of $177.
