Cruzeiro vs Sao Paulo prediction, preview and odds

Cruzeiro welcome Sao Paulo to Estádio Mineirão in a Serie A fixture that carries implications for both sides' positions in the table. Cruzeiro arrive with home advantage and a run of mixed results that leaves them inside the top six, while Sao Paulo sit lower but have shown enough defensive solidity to be competitive on the road. Bookmakers list Cruzeiro as the favourite, but market pricing leaves room to consider alternative outcomes.
