São Paulo face decisive week: 'finals' in Brasileirão, two days off | OneFootball

After losing to Santos in a come-from-behind defeat on Friday (2), São Paulo’s squad is now focused on the final matches of the Brazilian Championship to once and for all avoid relegation.

According to the schedule released by the club, after having Sunday (4) off, the squad will return to training on Monday (5) at the Barra Funda Training Center.

The team will have two days of work ahead of its match against Cruzeiro at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) on Wednesday (7) at Mineirão.

After the match, the tricolor club is only expected to return to the capital of São Paulo on the afternoon of Thursday (8), with just one training session scheduled the following day for the clash against Vitória at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) on Saturday (10) at Morumbi.

The team will have Sunday (11) off again after the match.

With the defeat in the derby, the equation is simple: Tricolor needs three wins to mathematically avoid relegation. The chances of qualifying for the next Copa Libertadores still exist, though they are remote. Curiously, the team moved up one spot in the standings even with the setback, remaining on 36 points but overtaking Bragantino on the yellow-card tiebreaker.
