RB Bragantino vs São Paulo Betting Tips

Sao Paulo will be looking for another 3 points as they continue to strive for a first Brazilian Serie A title since 2008 when they take on city rivals RB Bragantino.

The visitors come into this local derby in fine form having won 6 of their last 7 league matches and have now lost just 1 of their last 20 in Serie A. This fine run of form has given Sao Paulo a 7 point advantage at the top of the league table.

Lead by their inspirational captain, Dani Alves, Sao Paulo continues to impress having won 6 of their last 8 and have lost just of the last 11. They have also managed an impressive 18 goals in their last 8 away matches with young forward Brenner continuing to shine having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league matches, including a double in Sao Paulo´s most recent away win at Fluminese.

In contrast, RB comes into this tie in much poorer form having failed to score in 4 of their last 5 league matches while they have now lost their last 2 league matches, both 1:0 reverses at the hands of Athletico Paranaense and Palmeiras.

Now sitting 13th, and just 3 points above the relegation places. RB will need to improve quickly if they want to avoid a potential dogfight at the bottom of the table and count on a decent recent home record, with 4 wins in their last 6 at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid.

Still, given the RB´s recent lack of goals, and away win does look to have every chance at attractive 2.15 odds, particularly given the impressive away run that the league leaders are currently enjoying.
