André Silva and Luciano share top attacking stats for São Paulo | OneFootball

The attack of São Paulo has been decisive this season, and two names share the spotlight when it comes to offensive production: André Silva and Luciano. Both players have similar numbers and have been key pieces for Hernán Crespo's team, both in the Brazilian Championship and in the Libertadores.

In the overall sum of 2024, André Silva has a slight advantage. The striker played 42 matches, scoring 14 times and providing four assists. Luciano, on the other hand, was on the field 39 times, scored 11 goals and directly participated in more collective plays with six passes for goal. The balance is even greater in the Brasileirão: André Silva has five goals and two assists in 19 games, while Luciano has four goals and three assists in 18 appearances.

In the Libertadores, however, André Silva stood out more clearly. In seven games, the number 17 scored four goals and gave two assists, being the team's top scorer in the continental competition. Luciano, in eight matches, scored once and gave two decisive passes. Ferreira also appeared with two goals in seven matches, but it was André who took on the role of reference in the knockout nights.

The offensive moment of the duo will be put to the test again this Sunday, when São Paulo faces Atlético-MG at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Morumbis, for the 21st round of the Brasileirão. The Tricolor, currently in seventh place with 29 points, is looking for a spot in the G6 and defends a seven-game unbeaten run under Crespo's command, with five wins and two draws.

On the other hand, Galo, 11th place with 24 points, tries to find the path to victory again after two rounds without winning. Cuca's team arrives boosted by the qualification to the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana, but will have to deal with important absences against a São Paulo that is in great form on the field and relies on its top scorers to keep dreaming big.
