São Paulo hit their second longest away winless run in history | OneFootball

With the defeat in last weekend’s derby against Palmeiras, São Paulo reached the outright mark of the second-longest winless away streak in its history.

It is now 14 consecutive matches without an away win — just three games short of matching the club’s worst record, set between October 1979 and May 1980, when the team went 17 matches without a victory away from home.

Tricolor’s last away win came more than five months ago, on April 7, when they beat Boston River 1-0 in Uruguay in the Copa Sudamericana.

In the Brasileirão, the drought is even longer: the last victory came on March 15, in a 2-1 win over Bragantino.

A performance that greatly complicates Tricolor’s plans to avoid relegation: the team has only the 15th-best away record in the competition, with just nine points won and a 21.4% success rate.

Besides the winless streak, the Morumbi club has also been struggling to score away from home.

São Paulo has now gone three consecutive away matches without finding the net.

Although that number is relatively common in the club’s history — having happened on 39 other occasions — the situation could get worse.

If they fail to score against Cruzeiro on October 7 at Mineirão, Tricolor will reach a fourth straight away game without scoring, a feat recorded only seven times before: in 1973, 1982/83, 1992, 2019 and 2024, as well as in 1986 and 1994, when the streak reached five matches.
