How are the teams from São Paulo doing in the Brazilian Championship? It is true that the teams from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have dominated the Brazilian championship for a long time.
The last champions are from these two states, especially with Palmeiras and Flamengo more recently. However, this is a somewhat atypical Brazilian championship.
Botafogo has been leading the Brazilian championship since the beginning and will most likely be the champion. However, this championship is not very similar to other years.
The best placed team from São Paulo is Bragantino, Palmeiras is only in fourth place, something unexpected at the beginning of the championship. Thus, the teams from São Paulo are not in their best moment, let's see how the teams from São Paulo are doing in the Brasileirão.
Bragantino
At first, Bragantino is the São Paulo team with the best results, at least with 10 rounds left to go. They have 52 points in 28 rounds, with 14 wins and 10 draws, with 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 games.
Tomorrow, Bragantino will face Felipão's Atlético Mineiro team, which needs a good result after losing the derby against Cruzeiro. Despite being a difficult game, Bragantino has been playing good football, with great speed and great efficiency.
Palm trees
Palmeiras is one of the biggest frustrations in the Brazilian Championship, it is true that the Palmeiras team shared the focus with other championships.
Whether in the Libertadores or the Copa do Brasil, however, for a long time, the team had to divide its efforts and wear out its squad.
The poor results in other championships ended up having negative repercussions in the Brazilian league as well. Abel Ferreira's team is in its worst moment in recent years, with poor results and poor performance.
They have 47 points in 28 games, with 13 wins and 8 draws, and 4 losses and 1 win in the last 5 games. In addition to a poor performance, there is also a classic against São Paulo tomorrow. How are the São Paulo teams doing in the Brasileirão?
São Paulo
Firstly, the São Paulo team divided its attention between the Copa do Brasil and the South American Cup, being the champion of the Copa do Brasil. However, in the Brazilian championship it is not well classified.
Being only in tenth place, the team managed 38 points in 28 games, with 10 wins and 8 draws. However, no wins were achieved away from home, and the derby against Palmeiras is away.
There were 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 5 games, the good victory against Grêmio brought relief, after all the performance was very poor. After winning the Copa do Brasil, the team presented poor football, and with terrible results.
The next game is against Palmeiras, and it should be very difficult, the club's target is to reach 45 points by the end of the championship. There are 7 points left to reach the target, and 30 points are still up for grabs.

Corinthians
The Corinthians team has not won anything this year, and is experiencing one of its worst moments in recent years. It is only 3 points away from the relegation zone.
There are 33 points in 28 games, so with almost 1 point per round, the team tied with América Mineiro, managing to tie in the last play. Under pressure, and needing great results, the team needs to win its games to escape danger.
Tomorrow the team plays away from home against Cuiabá, and should face many difficulties. Depending on the other results, the team could end up in the Z4 this round, which would be terrible.
Saints
Finally, the worst of the São Paulo teams is Santos, not only because of the shameful 7-1 defeat to Internacional. But throughout their championship, with only 30 points, Santos is in the relegation zone.

Needing to win their games, the team had been on a winning streak until they lost to Internacional in the way they did. So, the next games should be very complicated, and the fight to get out of the Z4 is with big teams like Vasco, Corinthians, and Cruzeiro.
In addition to Goiás fighting to stay in the first division, the last 10 rounds promise great excitement. This Brazilian championship could be marked for the São Paulo team as one of the worst, and if any of the São Paulo teams are relegated, even more so.
