Club Deportivo Universidad Católica vs São Paulo FC Prediction 1 July 2022

Universidad Católica and Sao Paulo will face each other in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16.

Universidad Católica finished the first half of the Chilean league season in a humiliating tenth place, despite a 1-0 victory over Antofagasta. After that, the Students dealt with San Felipe (3:1, 3:0) in the National Cup. It should be noted that in the spring they played in the Copa Libertadores, where they did not overcome the competition from Talleres, Flamengo and Sporting Cristal.

But Sao Paulo were originally assigned to the Copa Sudamericana, where in confrontations with Everton da Vina, Ayacucho and Jorge Wistelmann easily earned 16 points. Prior to the match, Tricolor Paulista had a goalless draw with Juventude in the Brazilian Serie A, thereby continuing their winless streak to three matches.

Both teams are far from their best condition, especially when it comes to creative play. In such a situation, we do not expect bright football from them with high performance.
