Botafogo SP São Paulo betting prediction

The team plays its first match in this edition of the Paulista A1 with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away tie against Cruzeiro by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches São Paulo has won 2, tied 5 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 11 of their 23 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Due to the postponement of their opening match, São Paulo will make their debut in the Paulistão against Botafogo-SP. Despite playing away, the team arrives with ambitions of securing three points, backed by a more talented squad. However, the team must manage both their emotions and physical condition to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Being the favourite does not eliminate the need to play good football, particularly to ensure a promising start in the competition.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Hugo Leonardo Nunes Fernandes Santos, Nahuel Ferraresi Hernández, Robert Arboleda, João Moreira Souza, Sabino, Rodrigo Huendra Almeida Mendonça, Santiago Longo, Ryan Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos Silva, Henrique Fabiano do Carmo, William Gomes Carvalho Santos.
Coach: R. Mücke Ceni.
