São Paulo target win over Portuguesa before derby run and debut | OneFootball

São Paulo is preparing for a challenging sequence with derbies and the debut in the Brazilian Championship, and therefore, a victory over Portuguesa this Wednesday is crucial to start off on the right foot in the upcoming matches. Additionally, the Tricolor is also seeking stability in the State Championship standings, as it is currently outside the qualification zone for the next phase.

After the match against Lusa, São Paulo will face Palmeiras this Saturday at Arena Barueri, still in the State Championship. Following that, on Wednesday, the Tricolor debuts in the Brazilian Championship and hosts Flamengo at Morumbis.

On the following Saturday, the team returns to play in the Paulista Championship in another derby, the last of this first phase of the competition, against Santos, also at Morumbis. Later, the Tricolor will meet Santos again on Wednesday (04), this time for the Brasileirão, at Vila Belmiro.

With this tough sequence ahead, São Paulo aims for a triumph over Portuguesa to approach the subsequent matches with confidence. Furthermore, the Tricolor is in 10th place in the Paulista with four points, and thus, a victory would be important to try to enter the qualification zone of the State Championship and move away from the relegation zone to gain peace of mind for the sequence.
