Sao Paulo desperately need points on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 4:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Athletico Paranaense come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Sao Paulo travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Athletico Paranaense won their last outing, while Sao Paulo suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Athletico Paranaense face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Sao Paulo have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Athletico Paranaense won 1–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Athletico Paranaense a slight edge, but Sao Paulo are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
