Fluminense vs Sao Paulo Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

Fluminense last graced the top-flight, ending that campaign by losing eight of their last 12 matches of the regular season, so a return to this level could represent a significant step up in class. Sao Paulo are probably not the opponents that they would have chosen to face, with Fluminense boasting eight wins from ten games of late.

None of the last nine Fluminense home games in the Serie A have produced more than a couple of goals, with the net bulging a grand total of ten times across these contests. Not only that, but each of the previous five Sao Paulo matches at this level has followed the same pattern, so it would come as a surprise to see three goals or more.

Both teams have found the net in just four of the most recent 17 Fluminense home fixtures at the top table of the Serie A, whilst they have drawn a blank themselves in five of their last six Serie A games overall. As for Sao Paulo, they have either kept a clean sheet or failed to score in five of their previous six away encounters at this elite level of the domestic game.
