Prediction

  • In São Paulo's last Copa Libertadores meeting, Nacional's Juan Izquierdo tragically passed away after collapsing on the pitch. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time.
  • This is one of two all-Brazilian Copa Libertadores Quarter Final affairs.
  • Botafogo enter the Copa Libertadores Quarter Final stage for the fourth time in their history. They earned their place with a 4-3 aggregate win over Palmeiras. Their form since their 2-2 draw has seen them draw once and win twice. Most recently, they enjoyed a 2-1 victory over Corinthians at home.
  • Sao Paulo have been unpredictable this season, but despite that overall it's been a positive season so far. They earned their place in the Libertadores Quarters by seeing off Nacional in a 2-0 aggregate win. Since that victory, Sao Paulo have suffered an exit in the Copa do Brasil and won two out of three league games. At the weekend, they earned an impressive 1-0 win on the road against Cruzeiro.
  • The last two meetings between the pair have ended in a draw, with the most recent coming in July, where they put on a 2-2 thriller at the Estádio do Morumbi.
