Sao Paulo team overview
Sao Paulo have another season in which they failed to compete with the best Brazilian teams. Sao Paulo are far from the top of the standings, but are still in contention to secure a place in the Copa Libertadores qualifications. However, Hernan Crespo's team have struggled lately, losing five of the last six matches. In the previous game, they lost 3-2 at home against Palmeiras. The home side probably deserved more, as they ended with xG of 1.87, while the guests had only 1.22, but Sao Paulo left empty-handed again.
Sao Paulo's Pablo Maia got his third yellow card of the season and will not play in Porto Alegre against Gremio. Besides the midfielder, Crespo's team will also be without Andre Silva, Jonathan Calleri, Luan Silva, and Ryan Francisco in the upcoming clash.

Prediction
The biggest reason why Gremio have had solid success lately is defense, as they have allowed only eight goals in the last eight matches. On the other hand, Sao Paulo have big problems with the attacking line. Hernan Crespo's team scored only four goals in the previous six games. Although games between Gremio and Sao Paulo are usually high-scoring, the upcoming clash in Porto Alegre should have two or fewer goals. Our prediction: Under 2.5 goals.
4 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than two goals in thsi match
- Gremio allowed eight goals in the last eight games
- There were two or fewer goals in six of the previous eight Gremio matches
- Sao Paulo scored only four goals in the last six games
- There were two or fewer goals in nine of the previous ten Sao Paulo matches
