Pick 1 :

Gameday in Sao Paulo for the clasico between Palmeiras & Timao.

Palmeiras is without Luan.

Timao is without Ruan.

Palmeiras is ranked 16 with 2 draws & 1 loss for 3 goals scored & 4 goals conceded.

Timao is ranked 1 with 2 wins for 6 goals scored & 1 goal conceded.

Very big game here, Palmeiras really has to win this game because their first results aren't that good but it was also because they had a very hard schedule with the state competition and the Copa Libertadores. They will face Emelec but they are in a good position so they are not focusing that much this Copa Libertadores game.

Timao on their side started well in Serie A but they really have to focus the next Copa Libertadores game against Boca who is much more important than this game. Timao is always in trouble defensively when Fagner isn't playing and today he is on the bench. Palmeiras really like to play on the wings and it will put Timao in trouble.

Palmeiras is going with a great line up with Dudu, Veiga, Gabriel Veron & Rony in front. Defensively they pou Murilo as usual starter now.

I expect 1-0 or 2-0.

Pick 2 :

Gameday in Sao Paulo for the round 3 between Ituano & Vila Nova.

Ituano is without Chigor, Roberto & Berola.

Vila Nova is full line up.

Both teams have exactly the same results in this early of season with 2 draws & 1 goal scored for 1 goal conceded.

Ituano is the newly promoted team in Serie B and I rate their squad weaker than Vila Nova.

Vila Nova is a team from the middle of the table in Serie B in my opinion.

Vila Nova is coached by the same coach of last season, Higo Magalhaes, so the coach knows well his players and also he knows well the league. The team made some addition this season like Matheuzinho, Alex Silva etc.

Vila Nova should go with their 4-3-3 offensively minded as the previous game.

I expect a close game here 0-0 or 0-1.
