This Sunday, São Paulo fights for a victory against the already relegated Ponte Preta, in the last round of the Campeonato Paulista, where they have generally been achieving positive results. A simple win is enough for Tricolor to secure their spot in the quarter-finals of the State Championship.
In matches valid for the last round of the first phase of the competition, São Paulo has not suffered defeats for almost 10 years. The last one occurred in 2026, when they were defeated by Audax, the finalist of that edition. Since then, the team has achieved seven victories and two draws, in 2021 and 2019.
If they stumble, São Paulo could lose their spot in the G8 to Capivariano, Santos, Mirassol, and São Bernardo, as well as Primavera or Noroeste, who face each other in the last round and do not compete for the classification in case of a draw between Tricolor and Ponte Preta.
São Paulo is in eighth place in the Campeonato Paulista with 10 points, followed by Capivariano (10 points), Santos (9 points), Mirassol (8 points), São Bernardo (8 points), Primavera (7 points), and Noroeste (7 points).
