São Paulo struggle away to Bragantino in recent meetings, see why | OneFootball

This Sunday, São Paulo faces Red Bull Bragantino in the quarter-finals of the Campeonato Paulista. Due to a lower campaign, the Tricolor will visit Massa Bruta at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium in Bragança Paulista.

To advance in the Paulistão, São Paulo will need to improve its recent record against Bragantino away from home. In the last nine games under these conditions, there were five victories for Massa Bruta and four draws.

The last victory for São Paulo as a visitor against RB Bragantino was on March 3, 2019. On that occasion, the Tricolor won 2-0 in a match valid for that year's Campeonato Paulista.

Superiority in Knockout Stages

Despite being clubs from the same state, the teams have faced each other in only two knockout rounds throughout history — both won by the Tricolor. The first duel took place in the semi-finals of the 1989 Campeonato Paulista and then in the quarter-finals of the 2012 State Championship.

In 1989, São Paulo overcame Bragantino in both semi-final matches. In the first leg, they won 1-0 at Morumbi, with a goal by Ney Bala. In the return match, the capital team triumphed again at Nabi Abi Chedid, 2-0, with goals from Mário Tilico and Raí.

In the 2012 Campeonato Paulista, the Tricolor thrashed Bragantino 4-1 at Morumbi. Luís Fabiano (2), Fernandinho, and Osvaldo scored for São Paulo, while Júnior Lopes scored for the Bragança team.
