Atlético Goianiense vs São Paulo Prediction: Both teams will be looking to pick up their first points

In football, everything happens very quickly, and idols can fall in no time, especially in countries where the passion for the beautiful game is more intense. São Paulo, which won the Supercopa do Brasil in February and was unanimously praised by analysts, like its coach Thiago Carpini, became a team lacking in confidence and the young coach the target of criticism and even insults from the fans. Carpini was relieved of his duties after just two games in the Brasileirão.

Atlético Goianiense

The Dragon is still without any points but showed competitiveness against Flamengo and Botafogo, losing both times by the narrowest of margins. The team from Goiânia will be looking to pick up its first points against São Paulo, which hasn't announced its new coach yet. If Atlético adopts the same attitude displayed in the first two games, the Paulistas could face serious problems.

São Paulo

The Tricolor is experiencing difficult times, which makes this game against Atlético Goianiense vital to reassuring the team and the fans in the short term. Next week, São Paulo will travel to Guayaquil to play Barcelona in the Copa Libertadores. After the Ecuador match, the team will face Palmeiras in the King's Clash, possibly with a new coach. Milton Cruz will take charge of the Paulistas until the new leader arrives and hopes to help the players get their first win of the Brasileirão against Atlético.

Expert Betting Tips

In the two rounds played, Atlético Goianiense made a better impression than São Paulo, but it's also true that the expectations surrounding the two sides are different. It's uncertain how the Paulistas will perform on the pitch under an interim coach. The Goianienses probably believe they can beat São Paulo, given the team's poor form and all the instability around the club. I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Atlético with a maximum of four goals scored.
