The hosts are winless in two games in June thus far and, after suffering a 1-0 home loss to Botafogo earlier this month, they played out a 2-2 draw against Atletico Goianiense earlier this week. Yuri Alberto bagged a brace in that match while defender Gustavo Henrique was sent off in the first half.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions and played out a goalless draw against Internacional earlier this week. With 14 points from eight games, they are in fifth place in the league table, trailing league leaders Flamengo by just three points.

Corinthians vs Sao Paulo Prediction

Timão have seen a drop in form recently and after three consecutive wins, they are winless in their last two games, suffering one defeat. They have suffered three consecutive losses against the visitors, scoring just two goals, and will look to improve upon that record.

They have suffered just one loss in their last nine home games in all competitions, recording six wins. Fagner is injured and Rodrigo Garro and Gustavo Henrique are suspended while Félix Torres and Ángel Romero are on international duty, so head coach António Oliveira has a few notable absentees.

Tricolor Paulista have enjoyed a good run of form and are unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions, recording nine wins. They have kept five consecutive clean sheets and will look to continue their defensive form.

While the visitors have been in better form recently, considering the home advantage for Corinthians and the goalscoring form of the two teams, a draw is likely to ensue.
