One of the Paulista’s classics, the Choque-Rei, will take place next Monday, in the context of matchday 4 of the Brasileirão. São Paulo and Palmeiras had disappointing starts of the season, but they can start their recoveries by beating a local rival, which always tastes better.

The Tricolor Paulista started with two losses in a row against important teams, but last weekend, they got the better of Atlético Goianense with a good 0-3 victory.

The Verdão comes from one win, one draw, and one loss. Their most recent result was a boring 0-0 with Flamengo, a team they have not beaten for the Série A in a long time.

Why Bet on São Paulo?

São Paulo has just gotten their first three points after a poor start, having lost against Fortaleza and Flamengo in their first two games by the same score: 1-2.

Their latest match was against Atletico Goianiense, and they managed to get a clean sheet with a 0-3 score, which fixed their GD. They must keep their momentum running, as the team is placed at the 14th spot, and starting the season at the bottom of the table again will be troublesome. 

The club has had problems with relegation in the last three seasons, with their higher positioning being 9th in 2022. Santos’ experience should be an example that no one is safe in the Brasileirão.

Why Bet on Palmeiras?

Palmeiras has gotten mixed results so far in their campaign, with a 1-0 victory over Vitoria, a 0-1 loss against Internacional, and a 0-0 draw against Flamengo, a team tied at the lead of the board.

It is unexpected for a team that comes from being the champion in the last two seasons. However, there is nothing to worry about yet, as the club also started the last campaign at a low rate, just to catapult itself to the top in the second half of the season. 

What’s a matter of concern is the offensive level of the team. The defense has been great, but only one goal scored in three matches is not a proper number for a top team. Especially the one that finished last season with the most goals scored (64).

Free Betting Pick: São Paulo vs. Palmeiras

These teams have faced hundreds of times due to their constant participation in the Campeonato Paulista, Série A, and Copa Libertadores. In the Brasilãirao, Palmeiras has the upper hand with 27 wins, contrary to 14 for São Paulo amid 32 ties.

Their last game was especially terrible for the Tricolor Paulista, as they suffered a 5-0 thrashing at the Allianz Parque.

Neither historic nor current numbers favor the locals, so we’ll favor the visitors for a 0-1 win.

Go for a victory for the Verdão at 2.50. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $150 for a total payout of $250.
