Sao Paulo desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 11 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Sao Paulo come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5). Vitoria, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Sao Paulo head into this on the back of a defeat, while Vitoria arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

History strongly favours Sao Paulo here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Vitoria. Their last encounter ended in Sao Paulo won 0–2.

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