Sao Paulo vs Cobresal
It was assumed that Talleres would have a rough time in Argentina, considering the Tricolor Paulista’s seven-game undefeated record. The Argentinians were able to win thanks to a last-second goalie save by Herrera, despite São Paulo’s best efforts to equalize. The team from Córdoba extended their streak of wins to nine games with their win over São Paulo and drew in the following league encounter. The Brazilians need to step up their game to catch up to Talleres if they are to claim first place in their group. The three points are necessary for São Paulo against Cobresal, especially considering the Chileans’ dismal run and lack of victories since August.

In 2023, Cobresal finished second in the Chilean league; however, this season, they have struggled in every match and still haven’t found their footing. The Miners have yet to claim a league victory and lost their first match in the Copa Libertadores, a 1-1 tie against Barcelona de Guayaquil at home. Valencia converted a penalty in the 91st minute to give Cobresal an equalizer. The Chileans are set to go to São Paulo with the hopes of securing a point. However, it is pretty unlikely that they will succeed.
Our Predictions
Over 3.5 goals
Sao Paulo have lost their last two games. The first occurred in the Paulista quarterfinals when Novorizontino shocked everyone by eliminating them at home. After that, they lost again in the Libertadores. Thus, they had to play catch-up throughout the early stages of the group stage. On the other side, Cobresal’s recent form has been much worse. As a result of their winless season, El Milagro del Desierto is now ranked dead last in Chile’s Primera Division. The Sao Paulo faithful will not tolerate anything less than a win, and manager Thiago Carpini would feel the heat even more. We predict a resounding victory for the home team thanks to two goals in each half.
Flamengo vs Palestino
Now that they have achieved one of their season goals—winning the Campeonato Carioca—Flamengo can confidently concentrate on the next Copa Libertadores and Brasileirão, which begin this weekend. Tite has assembled a formidable squad widely considered a severe threat to winning the South American club championship. Flamengo should be regarded as the heavy favorite to beat Palestino at home.
Our Predictions
Flamengo to win
Flamengo is widely considered the tournament favorite and the clear favorite to win their group. They got off to a terrible start in the Libertadores, drawing Millonarios despite having a man advantage for the second half. Fans will want an instant reaction after Palestino’s devastating home defeat to Bolivar. Pablo Sanchez wants to avoid another comparable loss since it will put more pressure on him. We expect Flamengo to win easily and keep a clean sheet since their players are much better.
