Sao Paulo - Cruzeiro Prediction, Picks and Tips
With 1-1 at home in the middle of the week against Gremio, all the hopes of Sao Paulo to fight for the title of Brasileirao in the final four days vanished completely. It was the third consecutive tie for the 'tricolor Paulista' in the contest, results that at this point they have placed it to 11 points of the leader Palemiras being only 12 to play.
This context and its lack of football expression -especially due to the absence of players who score differently in attack- led to the dismissal of coach Diego Aguirre a week ago. Cruzeiro, like his rival, also plays for nothing as he has secured his place in the next Libertadores as champion of the Brazil Cup. The 'raposa' improved its performance in the recent days from the scoring runs of Thiago Neves and De Arrascaeta, although the latter will not play for being called to the Uruguayan team (neither will the central defender Dedé). Recall that of the top 10 classified are those who have the worst attack.
Of the last 4 direct duels Sao Paulo won 3 and Cruzeiro 1. Sao Paulo did not lose in the last 5 games, 4 of them with less than 2.5 goals. Cruzeiro has an average of 0.91 goals per game in this contest.
