São Paulo blow hot and cold, end season with average home form | OneFootball

The home season for São Paulo ended this Wednesday. The Tricolor defeated Internacional 3-0, thanks to goals from Sabino, Maik, and Luciano, in the penultimate round of the Brazilian Championship, at Vila Belmiro. With the victory, Hernán Crespo's team finished the year 2025 with a 60.6% success rate when hosting matches.

Playing as the home team at Morumbi, Vila Belmiro, and Mané Garrincha, the São Paulo team played 33 matches. During this period, they achieved 17 wins, nine draws, and seven losses – scoring 50 goals and conceding 32.

Fluctuation in the Brasileirão

In the Brazilian Championship, the team currently holds the eighth-best home campaign, with a 59% success rate. In the country's main competition, São Paulo accumulated 34 points out of a possible 57 and experienced fluctuations throughout the tournament.

The Tricolor Paulista enjoyed good moments, such as the winning streak between July and September, when they defeated Corinthians (2-0), Fluminense (3-1), Vitória (2-0), Atlético-MG (2-0), and Botafogo (1-0).

The negative points came in June and reappeared at the end of September: losses to Mirassol, Vasco, Ceará, and especially against Palmeiras exposed some defensive imbalance and moments of distraction that cost important points. In the Choque-Rei, in the team's most traumatic defeat at Morumbi, the team even showed strength by taking a 2-0 lead but ended up suffering a comeback and lost 3-2, in a match marked by controversies. Still, São Paulo managed to recover the following month, defeating Bahia and Juventude, and securing a valuable draw against Flamengo.

In the last five games, the club beat Bahia 2-0 and drew with Flamengo, but stumbled against Red Bull Bragantino, in a 1-0 defeat that halted their momentum. The response came quickly: a 2-1 victory over Juventude and a dominant performance against Internacional, closing the series with a convincing 3-0. From the match against Massa Bruta, São Paulo hosted their matches at Vila Belmiro.

In the Libertadores, over five games, there was only one home victory, along with three draws and one loss. In the Paulistão, the Tricolor, in seven matches, had four wins, two draws (one against Inter de Limeira at Mané Garrincha), and one defeat.

São Paulo concludes the season next Sunday, when they visit Vitória at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Barradão, in Salvador, in another match against a team fighting against relegation. The São Paulo club is in eighth place, with 51 points.
