Tough tests and derbies: São Paulo’s key 2025 Brasileirão matches | OneFootball

There are only seven games left for São Paulo to finish the season. The team led by Hernán Crespo faces this final stretch of the Brazilian Championship as a true decision, trying to secure a spot in the next edition of the Libertadores. To achieve this goal, they will need to overcome tough opponents, a derby, and direct clashes.

Next Wednesday, the Tricolor will face a very tough challenge: Flamengo, at Vila Belmiro. Unable to play at Morumbis due to concerts, São Paulo will face the contender for the Brazilian and Libertadores titles as the home team, but away from their own stadium.

There are also direct clashes for a spot in the G7. The first will be against Fluminense, at Maracanã, with the date and time yet to be determined.

As if that weren’t enough, the Tricolor will also have the derby against Corinthians, at Neo Química Arena. The date and time for the Majestoso have not yet been confirmed, but São Paulo usually doesn’t do well in Itaquera, having secured only one win there in 11 years.

The duel with Corinthians is also a direct clash for a spot in the G7 of the Brasileirão, since the rivals are only two points behind São Paulo in the standings, but have been splitting their focus with the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, another competition that could secure Corinthians a spot in the next Libertadores.

But it’s not just the teams at the top of the table that São Paulo should worry about. In this final stretch of the Brazilian Championship, there are also matches against teams fighting against relegation, who promise to make life difficult for Lucas, Luciano, and company.

In the last rounds, the Tricolor will face Juventude, currently second-to-last, Internacional, currently in 15th place, and Vitória, the first team in the relegation zone. In other words, Hernán Crespo’s men will not have it easy in this final stretch of the season.
