Warning signs on

São Paulo is coming off a 3-1 defeat to Palmeiras at Arena Barueri, in the fifth round of the Paulistão. In the tournament, the club has one win, one draw, and three losses.

This string of negative results has put Tricolor in a tough spot in the Campeonato Paulista. São Paulo is currently 14th in the competition, with four points, tied with Noroeste, which is just above the relegation zone.

To make Hernán Crespo’s situation worse, the team will have to split its attention with the Brasileirão. São Paulo debuts in the tournament on Wednesday. The first challenge will be against Flamengo, at Morumbis, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
