Cruzeiro vs Sao Paulo Preview

Cruzeiro and Sao Paulo have two of the best defences in the Brazil Serie A. The sides rarely see high-scoring results and there is value in sticking with a low-scoring result in Belo Horizonte.

Head to Head

Sao Paulo have a 26-14 advantage against Cruzeiro in 50 meetings with 10 draws. The teams have scored just five total goals in the last four meetings.

Cruzeiro Form

Cruzeiro have notched just one victory in their previous eight matches. The Belo Horizonte outfit have struggled for goals in this period, failing to score on four occasions.

The Foxes are also in patchy Brazil Serie A form, winning, drawing and losing once in three. They lost 1-0 at Internacional and drew 0-0 against the same side in late August.

Fernando Seabra’s side won their first league fixture since July last time out, beating bottom side Atlético Goianiense 3-1. Cruzeiro had 11 shots and William, Matheus Henrique and Kaio Jorge got on the scoresheet.

Cruzeiro Injuries

Strikers Juan Dinenno and Rafa Silva and midfielder Japa are injured and unlikely to play.

Sao Paulo Form

Sao Paulo have had mixed recent results, with two wins, three defeats and two draws in seven games.

Luis Zubeldía’s team recorded back-to-back home wins against Nacional in the Copa Libertadores (2-0) and a 2-1 over Vitória. These results were followed by a three-match winless run including a 1-0 cup defeat to Atlético Mineiro and a 2-0 loss against Fluminense.

The Tricolor Paulista couldn’t overcome a 2-0 first-leg Copa do Brazil loss to Atlético Mineiro. Sao Paulo drew 0-0 in the second leg and struggled for chances with just three shots on target.

Sao Paulo Injuries

Full-back Igor Vinícius is doubtful with a knock.

Defenders Patryck and João Moreira are ruled out.

Midfielder Pablo Maia and winger Ferreirinha are also unavailable due to injury.

Verdict

Cruzeiro v Sao Paulo

Cruzeiro are inconsistent in attack and Sao Paulo rarely score. Another tight clash is likely between these cagey Brazil Serie A teams.
