Last Game: Sao Paulo 2-0 Talleres
Thursday, May 30 at 1.30am in Copa Libertadores

We said: Sao Paulo 1-0 Cruzeiro

Under new management, both these sides are enjoying an excellent run of form and could end this weekend in the top four. However, Sao Paulo's home record this season is hard to overlook, and while Cruzeiro are unbeaten in their last three away games, they were fairly unconvincing when they played Atletico Mineiro, who have been their toughest away opponent so far this term. As a result, while we are expecting a very close contest here, we feel the hosts will be able to edge the result by a slender one-goal margin. Read more.
