Brasileirao leaders Sao Paulo are on the road this week for a league game away to Atletico Bragantino. Sampa have 56 points from 27 games, which puts them seven points clear of their nearest challengers, Atletico MG. Meanwhile, Bragantino - owned and branded by Red Bull - are midtable, 24 points behind their opponents, in 13th place. The threat of relegation is clear, with only three points separating them and the drop zone. Bragantino have only picked up one victory from their last five matches, and they have not found the back of the net in the other four. This sudden inability to score goals is alarming, especially with the champions-elect coming to town. Having said that, Sao Paulo are hardly scoring goals for fun either. They have failed to win three of their previous five matches, each game seeing them register a blank. Despite this, they remain the highest-scoring team in the Brazilian top flight. 

Sao Paulo are also the best travellers in the division. They are unbeaten in 11 of their 14 away matches. However, two of their most recent three away games ended in defeat. Up front, Brenner and Luciano are tasked with scoring goals for the visitors, the latter of whom is a contender for the player of the season award. No player has scored more goals on the road this season than Luciano's six. Bragantino are coming off the back of a home defeat, but they were unbeaten in their previous three matches at the Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid. While Sao Paulo failed to win their last two meetings with Bragantino, they took all three points away on their last visit. We see them ending that winless run. Back Sao Paulo.
