Four strikers injured, São Paulo attack hits decade low in 2025 | OneFootball

The effects of the large number of injuries during São Paulo’s season go far beyond simply being eliminated from the cups and the inconsistent campaign in the Brazilian Championship.

The team’s overall performance ended up being compromised in 2025, with some of the worst statistics recorded this decade.

And the attack, with four center-forwards having undergone surgery, as expected, ends up being one of the most affected areas.

Out of the 65 matches played so far this year, São Paulo has scored more than two goals in only five, as happened last Sunday (23), in the victory over Juventude.

This is the worst total since 2019, when there were also five matches, but since the team played fewer games (62 times), the current percentage is lower (7.7% compared to 8.1%).

Only once has Tricolor scored more than two goals on fewer occasions: in 1935, but with the important detail that there were only eight games.

As for the percentage, only 1973 is lower: six times in 80 matches (7.5%).

However, if São Paulo fails to reach a third goal in any of the three remaining matches, it will break this record.
