Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras Prediction

Tricolor Paulista were close to a win in the league fixture on Monday but were denied by a late fightback from Verdao. They will be keen on avenging that loss here.

Palmeiras have the best attacking and defensive record in the league, with 25 goals to their names while they have conceded just eight times. They can pull level in the head-to-head record with a win here but Sao Paulo are expected to put up a fight in this match and the two sides will likely settle for a draw in this first-leg fixture.
