São Paulo vs RB Bragantino
Match Preview
São Paulo welcome Bragantino to Morumbis in a fixture that matters more for the visitors right now. Sitting 12th in the table with 27 points, São Paulo have gone winless in the league since round 13, while Bragantino sit 7th on 32 points and are eyeing a continental spot.
Both sides arrive off draws. São Paulo were held 1-1 by Coritiba at home, with Pablo Maia on the scoresheet, though the club has found happier moments lately by lifting the Taça do Brasil and beating Bolívar in the Sul-Americana.
Bragantino, meanwhile, drew 1-1 away at Athletico-PR courtesy of Pedro Henrique's header, with striker Isidro Pitta their main attacking threat and Calleri leading the line for the hosts. Historically São Paulo hold the edge, winning 8 of 19 Brasileirão meetings to Bragantino's 3, including the unforgettable 1991 title decider.
Our prediction: 2-1
