Sao Paulo vs Vitoria Preview

Sao Paulo will be looking to bag a win in front of their home fans after collecting a single point in their last two games.

Vitoria on the other hand just ended a run of four winless games with a 1-0 win over Chapecoense.

At the start of June, Sao Paulo lost 3-1 to Palmeiras, but they got a point in their last outing against Internacional. This game offers them a chance to break into the top four, and they will be looking to take advantage of their home ground where they have been very hard to beat in recent times.

The home side has won their last three home games in all competitions including a 1-0 win over Santos.

Their home successes have been built around a solid defence and that could well be the case here again.

Vitoria come into this game after a win, but they had previously lost two and drew two of four games including a thrilling 5-2 defeat at the hands of Santos – their fans won’t be too optimistic of a win here.

Sao Paulo have won the last two meetings between these teams.
