Figurirense should win this match. They are in better form at the moment with two victories in the last three matches. Here are the results:

01.09. Cruzeiro - Figueirense 2:4���
28.08. Figueirense - Avai Florianopolis 2:3
20.08. Corinthians - Figueirense 0:2

On contrary, Sao Paulo have no victory in the last three matches, just two draws and one defeat from Fluminense in the last round.

However, this is not the only reason for my pick. Even more important reason is connect with the absentees. While the home side is complete, the guests will be eleven players. The best midfielder Lucas (played 14 matches and scored 6 goals so far) is with the national team. Three more players are suspended - Jean, Juan and Wellington. Another player is on international duty, this time it is about Paraguayan defender Ivan Piris. Finally, Denilson, Canete, Luis Fabiano, Fernandinho, Bruno Uvini and Dagoberto are all sidelined. It is clear this is a big handicap for the coach Adilson Batista. Because of that I believe Figueirense will win.
