Sao Paulo vs. Sporting Cristal: Tips, Prediction & Odds - 25.05.2021 - SOUTH AMERICA: Copa Libertadores - Group stage
In the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, the last matchday is scheduled this week, with the last seven candidates for the round of 16 being determined. Nine teams were able to buy their ticket to the round of 16 ahead of schedule, including Sao Paulo FC. In the race for group victory, however, the Brazilians suffered a major setback last week.

The team of head coach Hernán Crespo suffered a defeat against Racing Club, the co-favorites in Group E, and had to leave the top of the table. In the last game of the group stage, the Brazilians still have a chance of winning the group - even if only with the help of a shooter.

Sao Paulo - statistics & current form
Last week Sao Paulo FC celebrated the 22nd national championship title in the club's history. In the final of the Campeonato Paulista, the national championship of Sao Paulo, the team of head coach Hernán Crespo prevailed after a goalless draw in the first leg and a home win (2-0) in the second leg against Palmeiras.

During the week, the last group game in the Copa Libertadores continues. Sao Paulo FC was able to buy the ticket to the round of 16, so the last day of the match has no special significance. The home game against Sporting Cristal is only significant in terms of group victory, but Sao Paulo FC also needs shooting help.
Free soccer predictions
Because the last group game of the South American premier class for Sao Paulo will be the fourth competitive game within seven days, rotation at the Brazilian hosts can by no means be ruled out. Nevertheless, a potential second guard of the Brazilians should not be underestimated, especially since Sao Paulo FC is well staffed.

Will the strong home record in Morumbi be expanded?
In addition, the home advantage at Sao Paulo vs. Sporting Cristal speaks for a prognosis in favor of the home side. The "Tricolor Paulista" is one of the strongest teams at home in Brazil. At Morumbi, the home ground of SPFC, there have been nine wins in the last ten home games across all competitions.

Only in the home game against Racing Club less than a week ago did the team of Coach Crespo fail. As the statistics from the second half against the Argentines - 80% possession, 5-0 shot attempts - show, Sao Paulo FC barely missed a point. If the performance against the Peruvians is linked, bets on the host are obvious.
Free soccer picks
Sao Paulo has only lost one of 15 games on the international stage against Peruvian representatives in the club's history. At home, the "Tricolor Paulista" has even prevailed against Peruvian clubs in all seven home games. If the eighth home win in a row now beckons, odds of 1.35 for tip 1 are paid out in Sao Paulo vs. Sporting Cristal.

Sporting Cristal - Statistics & current form
As in the European Champions League, the South American counterpart also has a consolation prize for third place in the group stage. The third party continues the international adventure in the Copa Sudamericana. In Group E, Sporting Cristal are currently in third place in the table, but they are only one point ahead of Rentistas (4th).
Free soccer picks
Since Rentistas cannot be expected to master the away game against leaders Racing Club, it is obvious that Sporting Cristal will qualify for the second most important South American club competition even if they lose on the last match day. The most recent six-point game against the bottom of the table was particularly groundbreaking.

Last week, the Peruvian club beat the Uruguayans 2-0 at their Estadio Nacional in Lima and thus overtook their group rivals in the table. In Sao Paulo this week the last group game for the "Los Cerveceros" is on, which will only continue the adventure for the third time in the club's history in the Copa Sudamericana.

Does Sporting Cristal have no chance against the SPFC offensive?
There was no point for Sporting Cristal against the upcoming opponent in the first half of the season, but the team of head coach Roberto Mosquera conceded a total of three goals. In the second leg, too, we are by no means ruling out a clear result in favor of the Brazilians. In Brazil, Sporting Cristal has never been able to score in any other competition.
Free soccer predictions
Although Sporting Cristal won the group in the Peruvian Apertura, the first of two halves of the season in League 1, with a record of 8-0-1, we therefore consider a point win at the home-strong SPFC to be rather unrealistic. Betting enthusiasts who still want to make a prediction on the guests at Sao Paulo vs. Sporting Cristal should take a look at the free bet offers of the betting providers.
Free soccer picks
Head coach Mosquera has to do without Christopher Olivares and Percy Liza in the away game with the Brazilians due to injuries. There are no further failures among the Peruvians.
Expected formation of Sporting Cristal:
Duarte - Saavedra, Massoni, Merlo, Loyola - Calcaterra, Tavara - Hohberg, Gonzales, Corozo - Riquelme

Betting base forecast & Brazil Sao Paulo - Sporting Cristal Peru tip
Although rotation at the Brazilian hosts can by no means be ruled out after the tight schedule last week, we rate Sao Paulo FC far more than the Peruvian guests. In addition to the home advantage in Morumbu, the quality of the squad speaks for the home side, who even have a potential second guard strong enough to master the home game against Sporting Cristal.
Free soccer predictions
For the "Los Cerveceros" a defeat would only be bearable if the bottom of the table from Uruguay also loses in the parallel game. This means that the team of head coach Mosquera could defend third place in the table with the help of a shooter.
Free soccer picks
Sao Paulo has won all home games against Peruvian clubs so far. After the clear result from the first half of the season, we consider a Brazilian win as the best betting option in the second half of the season. Across all competitions, the SPFC won nine of the last ten home games.
