Sao Paulo vs Independiente del Valle Prediction: Sao Paulo Looking Confident to Win this Year’s Sudamericana Title!

For the upcoming final, Sao Paulo will take on Independiente del Valle at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Cordoba, Argentina. We have already witnessed the intense rivalry between Sao Paulo and Independiente in the previous qualifying legs. Talking a bit about the past, Independiente del Valle won the Sudamericana title in 2019 recently, whereas Sao Paulo won back in 2012. Going in the all-important final, both teams might make some distinctive changes to their formation; however, the initial lineup is likely to stay the same for the two sides. 

Going in the final, Sao Paulo is coming off a boosting win against Avai FC (4-0), in which Diego, Luciano Neves, Patrick, and Eder were simply outstanding. If Sao Paulo managed to continue with the same spirit and zeal, there’s no stopping. Sao Paulo is likely to play with a 4-4-2 formation and attack from the very first minute of the game. Going in the game, Sao Paulo is burned by the heavy distress of injuries as Roberto Arboleda, Andre Anderson, Caoi, Nikao, Joao Moreira, and Gabriel Neves are likely to miss the contest.

Independiente has done significantly well in the ongoing Liga Pro this season. Now, for the upcoming final against Sao Paulo, Independiente del Valle is coming off a win against CSD Macara (1-0) and a draw before that against LDU de Quito (2-2). For the upcoming final game, Independiente will be backing Fernando Gaibor, Marco Angulo, and Jhoanner Chavez to score and play positively. Independiente del Valle will miss out Nicolas Prevtali going in the most important final.
