São Paulo's win over Bragantino marks best ever Brasileirão start | OneFootball

With the comeback victory over Bragantino, this is São Paulo's best start in the Brazilian Championship not only in the era of the points system but in its entire history.

On only two other occasions did the team achieve five wins in their first six games of a tournament edition, but on both occasions (1982 and 2011), they were accompanied by a defeat, not a draw as now.

In total, with 16 points earned and an 88.89% success rate, São Paulo has never started so positively in the main national competition.

In the years mentioned earlier, the tricolors achieved five wins in the first six games. In 2011, the unbeaten run was lost precisely in the sixth round.

In other words, the current sequence is the longest unbeaten period since the first game of a Brazilian Championship season.

The three goals conceded in six games rank alongside 1973, 1977, 1981, 1988, and 2019 as São Paulo's fifth-best defense in this segment of the Brazilian Championship, behind only 1983 (no goals conceded), 1978, 1986, and 2007 (two goals conceded).

Meanwhile, the ten goals scored are slightly above the historical average of 8.3 after six rounds. The record in this regard came in 1982, with 20 goals, while the other end is the 1971 campaign, with only two goals.

Additionally, with the result in Bragança Paulista (SP), São Paulo won two consecutive away games in the Brasileirão for only the fifth time this decade: so far, since January 2021, there have been 103 matches in total, and none of these sequences reached three victories.

The last time the Tricolor lined up three away victories in the tournament was between October and November 2020, against Palmeiras, Flamengo, and Fortaleza.

Four haven't happened since December 2008, and five since July 2003. Never in the history of the Brasileirão has São Paulo won six consecutive away games.
