São Paulo winless in Brasileirão openers since 2022, see the stats | OneFootball

São Paulo has a small taboo to break this Wednesday against Flamengo: the team has not won a Brasileirão opener in almost four years. The last time this happened was in the 2022 Brazilian Championship, with a 4-0 victory over Athletico-PR at Morumbis.

After that triumph against Furacão, São Paulo accumulated two losses and a draw in Brasileirão openers. In 2023, Tricolor lost to Botafogo 2-1 at Nilton Santos.

In the following two years, playing at Morumbis, they lost 2-1 to Fortaleza and drew 0-0 with Sport in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

In addition to seeking to win an opener again after more than four years, São Paulo is also defending a four-game unbeaten streak against Flamengo at Morumbis.

Since September 2023, Tricolor has drawn twice and beaten Rubro-Negro in the other two matches and even won the Copa do Brasil over the Rio team in 2023, at their own stadium.

However, São Paulo is not in a good phase. The team has played five matches this season, won only one, drew another, and lost three, registering a success rate of just 26.6%.

Standing in the table

Tricolor saw the pressure increase in the Paulista after the defeat in the derby. Tricolor suffered its third loss in the State Championship and dropped to 14th place, with four points.
