São Paulo and Vitória evenly matched when facing off at Barradão | OneFootball

São Paulo and Vitória face each other this Sunday at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at Barradão, in the last round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match will decide whether the Rubro-Negro from Bahia remains in Série A and promises to be as evenly matched as the history between the two teams at the Canabrava stadium.

São Paulo has already played 18 matches at Barradão, with ten wins and eight losses. The tricolor team has never drawn at this venue, scoring 30 goals and conceding 25 – a success rate of 55.56%.

This Sunday, São Paulo will take the field with the mission of securing at least a draw to confirm eighth place in the Campeonato Brasileiro and keep their chances of qualifying for the Pre-Libertadores, hoping for a Cruzeiro or Fluminense title in the Copa do Brasil for the spot to be confirmed.

Vitória, on the other hand, is the first team in the relegation zone, with 42 points, and desperately needs a win and for one of their rivals in the fight against relegation—Fortaleza, Ceará, or Santos—to slip up.

For these reasons and more, Sunday’s clash promises to be intense. Barradão will certainly be packed, and São Paulo will have to deal with the strong pressure from the Rubro-Negro fans throughout the 90 minutes, with much more at stake for Vitória than for the tricolor side.
