Having secured a 2-1 home win against Fluminense in their latest league match, Sao Paulo will have a positive feeling ahead of this match.  They came away from that fixture with 49% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 8 on target. By comparison, Fluminense managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.  

They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at Estádio do MorumBIS and recording 3 wins in that same period.  

Luciano da Rocha Neves will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Sao Paulo.

Last time out, Cruzeiro left content aftera 1-0 away win against Atletico Goianiense  In that game they had 54% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Atletico Goianiense who had 17 attempts and 5 on target.  

Fernardo Seabra will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
