Cruzeiro vs Sao Paulo Prediction and Betting Tips | June 24, 2023 

Cruzeiro host Sao Paulo at the Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto on Saturday (June 24) in the Brasileiro Serie A.

The hosts enjoyed a fairly decent start to their season but have fallen off the pace to find themselves in the bottom half of the standings. Cruzeiro lost 1-0 to Fortaleza in their last league outing. They had looked set to be headed towards a draw before their opponents scored a late winner. Cruzeiro are 12th in the league table with 14 points from 11 games.

Sao Paulo, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league this season but remain in contention for continental football. They returned to winning ways on Wednesday with a 2-1 comeback win over Athletico Paranaense. Gabriel Neves and Luciano got on the scoresheet to overturn an early deficit.

The visitors are seventh in the standings with 18 points from 11 games.
