Sao Paulo vs. Corinthians – Score prediction (13.10.2019)

Overview.

This latest edition of the Clássico Majestoso is all about local pride and the fight for a top-four place. But with 26 all-time H2H top-flight draws (SP: W15/COR: W21), and both São Paulo and Corinthians each registering a league-high ten league draws this season, there appears to be a high probability of deadlock here and a lack of entertainment. São Paulo enter the game amid one win in four, two of which ended 0-0 – a feat now seen in five of their Serie A (SA) games this campaign. Those two results also form part of a run of nine SA games of their last 11 to produce under 2.5 goals.

What’s more, eleven of São Paulo’s 14 SA games to find a winner saw just a single-goal margin of success – seven of which produced two goals or less. Subsequently, no side has a lower total goals per SA game average (1.71) than São Paulo this season. Ranking second worst in terms of goals seen in their games (1.75), ten of Corinthians’ last 13 league games have seen under 2.5 match goals, while just four of their SA games this term to find a winner saw a multi-goal margin success. Still, Corinthians are in the better form ahead of this one with just one loss in 16 SA matches (W8, D7), losing just two first-halves within that run and opening the scoring on 11 occasions.
