Sao Paulo host Vitoria on 11 October 2026 at 03:00 in Serie A. Sao Paulo sit eighth, six points adrift of the playoff zone, and have won none of their last six matches. Under manager Dorival Júnior, the team has shed consistency across all phases. Their defence has collapsed: across the last six games, Sao Paulo conceded eight goals while scoring just two. The 0-2 loss to Cruzeiro was the latest symptom of a deeper malaise that began with defeats to Palmeiras (0-2) and Santos (1-2). Sao Paulo's attack has nearly flatlined. In three of the last six outings, they failed to score at all, with goals only arriving against Santos and Boca Juniors.
Form and H2H
Sao Paulo have averaged 0.99 goals for and 1.10 against at home over their last ten matches, posting four wins, one draw, and five losses. Vitoria's away record shows three wins, one draw, and six losses, with 1.01 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. The head-to-head record is split: Sao Paulo won 3-2 in 2013 and 3-1 in 2014, while Vitoria took 3-2 in 2013 and 2-0 in 2016. Sao Paulo won the most recent fixture 2-0 in 2016.
Best bet
Vitoria will not lose. Sao Paulo's defensive shambles and attacking drought make them vulnerable to a team that, despite a poor away record, can exploit the home side's current fragility. At 1xBet, the draw is priced at 3.92 and the Vitoria win at 5.77. A double covering both outcomes—draw or Vitoria victory—offers value given Sao Paulo's inability to score and their leaky defence.
Odds to watch
Sao Paulo's home win sits at 1.63 on 1xBet and 1.68 on 1Win, reflecting their status as favourites despite the form crisis. Vitoria's away win is 5.77 on 1xBet and 5.4 on 1Win. The draw at 3.92 (1xBet) and 3.82 (1Win) deserves consideration given Sao Paulo's recent inability to break down opponents and Vitoria's defensive solidity on the road.
