Sao Paulo

Current form

“Sao Paulo” overcame the group stage without any problems, fully justifying the status of the main favorite of the group. The “tricolors” finished first, ahead of the second “Talleres” on additional indicators. In the first match of the 1/8 finals, Luis Zubeldia’s team barely held out in Montevideo and a goalless draw, based on the scenario of the match, was more than a successful result.

In the first match against Sao Paulo, Martin Lasarte's team had an advantage, but they failed to capitalize on it and ended the match in a goalless draw.

Tip and bets

Tiphandicap (-1) at Sao Paulo

2.37

Sao Paulo barely managed to snatch a goalless draw away from home, but will certainly play differently at home – as number one, from a position of strength. The hosts have a serious advantage in experience and class, the Tricolors are practically flawless in home matches – Nacional hardly has a chance to avoid defeat, the Uruguayans have never beaten Sao Paulo.

We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on "Sao Paulo" . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.37

Bet on total

In the first match the teams did not score goals, but today it makes sense to count on a different scenario. At home, Sao Paulo plays aggressively in attack and regularly scores, the defense of Nacional has minimal chances to play reliably. However, the Uruguayans will certainly take risks, find their moment and realize it is quite within their power.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.35
