Baya has been one of the top players for Goias this season second to only Diequinho who has six goals to his name. Goias is currently in 10th place in the Serie B of the Brasileiro with 7 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses from 18 games played. They were outclassed in their first-leg encounter against São Paulo with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat to Goias. 

The Tricolor went from not winning a game in their last three league games before their first-leg encounter against Goias to securing two consecutive league victories in their last two games across all competitions. They overpowered Goias in the first leg encounter with Luciano and Calleri finding the net for São Paulo. Furthermore, the Paulistas also secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Flamengo in their last league game with Calleri once again scoring the only goal of the game for São Paulo. The Paulistas are currently 6th place in the Serie A of the Brasileiro with 10 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses from 21 games played. 

We take a look at their last 20 encounters and São Paulo has won 11 games, Goias has also won 7 games with 2 draws.

It is always a tough clash whenever these two teams meet as we can see from their H2H statistics above. Moreover, there has been a total of over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 encounters and we believe the goals option will be a good wager here. A minimum of two goals from either team at 1.84 odds is our first bet. Furthermore, we do not see São Paulo losing this game and as such, a win or draw and a total of over 3.5 goals for The Paulistas at 1.60 odds is another betting choice.
