Sao Paulo – a more traditional Brazilian soccer
São Paulo FC are one of Brazil’s elite clubs and they have the experience of playing in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A to thank for that, so they should be well-versed in how to play in a pragmatic and patient style that keeps games tight. São Paulo FC’s manager will be trying to set up his team to be solid defensively, to keep the ball and play simple when they have it, frustrating their opponents and hoping that they catch their opponent at the wrong moment.

Goalscorers on both sides

São Paulo’s player of most interest is Jonathan Calleri, who scores goals in big games, while Rodrigo Nestor is the midfield engine that gets the whole team moving in the correct direction.
Bragantino, meanwhile, are a team of young attackers that are spread out all over the pitch, there is no one goal scorer, but the Red Bull mantra of high intensity and direct soccer will see them score goals.
The Bragantino Red Bull vs Sao Paulo FC betting tips take into account that there is some potential for the game flow to be affected by the weather at Nabizão on Thursday, wet pitches can make high-intensity soccer a little more difficult and influence both pace and passing accuracy.
Both teams can cancel each other out and the under 2.5 goals market looks solid here, given São Paulo’s defensive focus. This Bragantino Red Bull vs Sao Paulo FC prediction aligns with the expectation of a defensively tight game.
