São Paulo bid farewell to Vila Belmiro aiming for strong home form | OneFootball

São Paulo bids farewell to Vila Belmiro this Wednesday at 8:00 pm (Brasília time), against Internacional, in the penultimate round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

This will be the fourth match for Tricolor as the home team at Santos’ stadium. The team led by coach Hernán Crespo is looking to end this run of games at their rival’s home on a positive note, since so far they haven’t managed to be as dominant playing in Baixada Santista.

In the three matches they played at Vila Belmiro as the “home team,” São Paulo has recorded a 2-2 draw with Flamengo, a 1-0 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino, and a 2-1 victory over Juventude.

The triumph against the team from Caxias do Sul, in fact, was the only win in São Paulo’s last five matches this season – in the other games, they suffered three defeats and one draw – a performance well below expectations.

This Wednesday, against Internacional, São Paulo will have the chance to at least secure a positive record as the home team at Vila Belmiro, ensuring more wins than any other result.

The task, however, will be anything but easy, since on the other side will be a team desperate to escape the relegation zone with only two rounds left in the Campeonato Brasileiro. For Internacional, the match has the feel of a final. For São Paulo, not so much.

It’s true that Tricolor still needs to keep scoring points to confirm eighth place and hope that Fluminense or Cruzeiro wins the Copa do Brasil in order to secure a spot in the Pre-Libertadores, but undeniably Wednesday’s clash is being treated with much more importance by Inter.
