On July 6, Estádio do Morumbi (Sao Paulo) will host the first leg of the 1/4 final match of the Copa do Brasil, in which Sao Paulo will compete with Palmeiras. The battle will start at 00:30 CET.

Sao Paulo

The club has won almost every possible trophy. At the same time, the previous title was taken back in 2012, when the Copa Sudamericana was won. Then “the Tricolor”, with all its popularity and status, won only at the level of the state championship – to be honest, the competition is also too high there. Speaking about the previous season of the Serie A, “the Tricolor” achieved the 9th position. Nowadays, the Brazilian team is perfect in the Copa Sudamericana – it took 5 wins and a goalless draw in the battle against Deportes Tolima. At the same time, Sao Paulo, having stumbled at the very beginning (there happened a 1-2 score in the struggle with Botafogo), reached a 7-match unbeaten streak in the Serie A. Still, June brought 3 defeats in 4 matches. Well, the team, at least, coped with Fluminense, winning with a 1-0 score.

Palmeiras

The team is traditionally strong and ambitious. Taking into account the results of the recent years, it confirms its status as a grandee with constant success. For instance, there were 2 victories in a row in the Copa Libertadores in 2020-2021, and the previous season regained the club as the championship title at the inner arena. Speaking about the current year, Abel Ferreira’s wards hope to achieve new bright successes. Still, if in the Copa “the Porco” advanced to the play-offs ahead of schedule (although they began with a 1-3 score on the field of Bolivar), then, starting with an unbeaten run of 10 matches, they made several painful misfires in June in Brasileiro. At first, there was an insulting 0-1 score in the confrontation with modest Bahia, and then the negative result was repeated with the leader of the draw, Botafogo. However, the team defeated Bolivar in the Copa and performed well on the field of Atletico Paranaense after that.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Sao Paulo has won only 1 of 7 previous matches. And that happened in the Copa do Brasil, where the return match brought the success to the opponent, which eventually went further.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider the chances of the opponents to be approximately equal. This is the first match of the stage, and it is unlikely to be bright – thus, we are waiting for “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.72).
