My Prediction
São Paulo by 1Here we are sports fans, a riveting matchup between São Paulo and Vasco. Looking at the goaltending side of things, Léo Jardim guarding the net for Vasco is putting up some commendable numbers with a 6.93 rating and 8 saves this season. His São Paulo counterpart, Rafael, isn’t too far behind with a rating of 6.70 and also 8 saves to his name.
Now, if you fancy yourself a fan of offensive play, let me highlight João Victor and Pablo Vegetti, who have been manning the sails for Vasco. They've been racking up those stats with Vegetti especially showing his worth, scoring 2 goals thus far. São Paulo, on the other hand, has the likes of Luciano and Robert Arboleda doing all they can on the field. Luciano is certainly no slouch, garnering a 7.7 rating and adding a goal and a whopping 5 shots on target.
But, I hear you ask, what about the history between the two teams? In their last four meetings, São Paulo managed a 2-1 win record with a single tie, including an impressive 3-0 win in their most recent matchup. Vasco though did bring the heat in June 2024, with a decisive 4-1 triumph over São Paulo.
And now, brace yourselves as we do a quick dive into the numbers. Vasco’s regular season record stands at 3 wins, 1 draw, and a not-so-encouraging 7 losses. São Paulo, in contrast, boasts a record of 2 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses. And, oh, let’s not forget the recent performances. Vasco has been having quite the dry spell, tasting victory only once in their last five matches. São Paulo isn’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard either, winning just one out of their last five games as well.
Drumroll, please, for our prediction. Here goes!
