Analysis of Santos

After 8 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, the home team is in 8th place, having won 31 points. In the last match, he won the Paraná Clube away by (0-2), after in the previous game to have tied at home, in a game against Grêmio, by (0-0). This is a team little affected by the house factor, that is, it achieves practically the same points at home and away, having won 18 points in its stadium, with 18 goals scored and 9 conceded, against 13 points out, where it scored 10 goals and suffered 14. In the last 10 home games for the championship, Santos have recorded 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, having won 15 points out of 30.

His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 23 games in the competition, he never managed to turn the scoring in the 12 games in which he suffered the first goal.

Santos is a club that has won the Brazilian Championship Series A seven times throughout its history, being the most recent title conquered in 2004. In the current season, the team has been making an irregular campaign, winning 31 of the 69 points played until now being ten points behind the qualifying zone for the preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores and even more distant from the first placed. In the last five games that Santos played as principal, counting only the national championship, in all of them were scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. I believe that in this match Santos, who has been recovering since the arrival of Cuca, will make another game as few goals in the first half, as his defensive system has improved and will face a team that has not scored many goals.

Analysis of São Paulo

The visiting team is currently in 2nd place with 49 points, after 14 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, he lost out to Atlético-MG by (1-0).

His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to achieve in 9 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 24 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 5 times and only got 1 turn on the scoreboard.

São Paulo is a great champion of Brazilian football, the club has six Brazilian Serie A titles, three Copa Libertadores titles and one FIFA Club World Championship. In the current season of the Brazilian Championship of Series A of 2018, the team has been making a great season, managed to lead the competition for some rounds, lost the lead but is the current vice-leader with the same score of the International leader. The current moment of the team shows a inconstancy in the results, when analyzing its last five results in the competition, we see that were two draws, one defeat and two victories, but there is a pattern of behavior, all these matches had less than 2.5 goals, three of them had less than 1.5 goals, that is, the São Paulo has had a behavior of few goals.
