Sao Paulo will be looking to end Palmeiras' unbeaten start to the Brazilian Serie A when they host them on Sunday. These two rivals are separated by four points, Palmeiras in second spot and Sao Paulo eighth. Both teams are coming from key wins on the continental scene and will be fired up here. Sao Paulo thrashed Deportes Tolima 5-0 in the Copa Sudamericana for their fourth win in five matches. They have scored in each of their last five matches, two or more goals in four of them. However, they have just two clean sheets in their last five matches. In their last four meetings with Palmeiras, Sao Paulo are unbeaten. They will be further boosted by an eight-game unbeaten run at home. In their last seven home matches, Sao Paulo have posted straight wins and they've scored two or more in each. Their last four matches have each produced over 2.5 goals

Palmeiras are not only seeking to keep their unbeaten start; they could go top with a win here. The visitors are coming from a 4-2 home win over Barcelona in the Copa Libertadores. That was their second straight win and third in five. In all their wins, Palmeiras have scored three or more goals. Palmeiras have however failed to keep a clean sheet in the last four matches and this is the area they will want to work on. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they've failed to score in just one of the five. In their last away game, Palmeiras suffered a 1-0 loss to Fortaleza in the Copa do Brasil. That was their second straight away outing without a win and they've failed to win in three of four away matches. In light of having struggled against Sao Paulo, this away run will be a concern for Palmeiras.
