2.05Tip and bets
Cruzeiro ended their losing streak in the last round and will certainly be determined to build on their success today – their opponents are a direct competitor for a place in the top four. Sao Paulo are far from being in the best shape and have been playing very poorly away from home, having failed to win any of their last eight matches away from home – the Foxes have a great chance to extend this streak.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Cruzeiro victory . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on total
Cruzeiro are the favourites and will clearly be set on winning today, but at the same time, in a confrontation with a direct competitor, they will not take risks without special necessity, the price of a mistake is too high. Sao Paulo has problems with implementation, and in general with creating chances, in three matches in a row, the "tricolors" have not been able to score - it is unlikely that the meeting will be productive.
Betting Tip - total under two goals. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
Cruzeiro are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking, but the home team should win confidently on corners.
The bet is Cruzeiro to win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.67
