Will the hosts have problems? Sao Paulo vs Vitoria Prediction
One of the matches in the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship will be played on Monday at the "Morumbi" stadium, where São Paulo will host Vitória. Here’s a match prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Sao Paulo
The "Tricolor" comes into this match against Vitória following a home win against Uruguay’s Nacional in the Copa Libertadores playoffs. The 2-0 victory secured São Paulo’s place in the tournament's quarterfinals.
In the domestic Brazilian Championship, São Paulo currently occupies the sixth spot in the standings, just three points behind the top four teams. In their last league match, São Paulo faced Palmeiras away and suffered a 2-1 defeat. Before that, they had secured 1-0 victories against Flamengo and Atlético Goianiense.
Vitoria
The "Lions of Barra" have had a less-than-ideal start to the current Série A season and are currently sitting in 16th place in the standings with just 22 points from 22 matches. Notably, Vitória is only ahead of Corinthians, who are in the relegation zone, due to tiebreaker criteria.
However, the team’s recent results suggest that Vitória may be able to maintain their position, but not much more. In their last match, Vitória drew 2-2 at home against Cruzeiro. In 11 away matches this season, Vitória has managed only two wins, suffering seven losses.
