Coach Hernán Crespo is going through his most challenging period at the helm of São Paulo. The 2-0 defeat to Grêmio last Thursday at Morumbis extended the Tricolor’s negative streak.
The team has suffered six defeats in its last seven matches of the season, with only one victory during this period — against Fortaleza, 2-0, on the 2nd of this month. The sequence includes two losses to LDU, which led to elimination from the Libertadores, as well as setbacks against Santos (1-0), Ceará (1-0), Palmeiras (3-2), and, most recently, Grêmio itself.
Considering Crespo’s two stints at the club, this is the worst run of results for the coach over a stretch of seven games, with a success rate of just 14.3%.
In his first spell, in 2021, the Argentine went seven games without a win, but on that occasion São Paulo drew four times, achieving a success rate of 19.1%, a figure higher than the current one.
Despite the difficulties, São Paulo is trying to bounce back in this final stretch of the Brasileirão. Currently, the team sits in eighth place, with 38 points — 11 behind Mirassol, who closes out the G-4.
Mirassol vs São Paulo (29th round of the Brasileirão) Date and time: 10/19 (Sunday), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) Venue: Estádio Campos Maia, in Mirassol (SP)
