Across the ten matches before that, they won three, lost two and drew five.

Match Results: Palmeiras
Sao Paulo Team Overview
São Paulo have been inconsistent both in results and in the quality of their defensive and attacking play. In their last five matches they have won three and lost two, but over a longer stretch the picture is less encouraging: four defeats in ten matches against three wins points to a lack of solid foundation when facing top opposition. São Paulo are averaging just 1.24 goals scored per game and 1.12 conceded - a negligible margin even for a mid-table side in a league of this level. Their league position demands that they pick up points even against stronger opponents.
Match Results: Sao Paulo
Match Result Prediction
Palmeiras have been very consistent at home: they average 1.75 goals scored and just 0.75 conceded per home match. This season they have won 8 and lost just 1 of their home games. São Paulo are noticeably weaker on the road - only 2 wins and 8 defeats away from home, averaging 0.85 goals scored and 1.38 conceded. Against that backdrop, a bet on Palmeiras to win at 1.65* looks well-founded.
Total Goals Prediction
Palmeiras are consistent scorers at home (averaging 1.75 goals) while conceding relatively few (0.75), and São Paulo away score fewer than one goal per game on average but concede regularly (1.38). Combined, the average totals for both sides across the season point to around 2.6 goals per match, which supports a bet on Total Goals - Over 2 at 1.52*. However, São Paulo have had some low-scoring away matches, which slightly limits the potential of the bet.
Reliable Bet
Palmeiras rarely lose at home - just one defeat in the current season against eight wins and three draws. São Paulo, by contrast, have been very poor away from home, with eight defeats and only two wins. Against that backdrop, the bet on Palmeiras not to lose looks as safe as it gets at odds of 1.17*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the top three most likely outcomes are 1:0 (15.25%), 2:0 (11.67%) and 1:1 (10.89%). A narrow Palmeiras win by 1:0 has the highest probability, though the gap between the leading options is small. Scorelines of 2:0 and 1:1 are also rated as reasonably likely outcomes.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Given how much is at stake for Palmeiras in the title race and their clear advantage in the balance between attack and defence, the match should unfold under the home side's control - they rarely allow opponents to impose their game and maintain a high level of concentration through to the final whistle. São Paulo have been inconsistent in recent matches, often dropping points even against sides of a lower standard or weaker form than their current opponents. Taking the form of both sides into account, the main prediction is a Palmeiras win.
