How are the São Paulo teams doing in the Brasileirão?
How are the São Paulo teams doing in the Brasileirão? It is true that 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 slightly atypical Brazilian championship.
The one who has been ahead of the Brazilian championship practically since the beginning is Botafogo, who will most likely be the champion. However, this is not a championship very similar to other years.
The best placed São Paulo team is Bragantino, Palmeiras is only in fourth place, something unexpected at the beginning of the championship. So, the Paulista teams are not at their best, let's see how the São Paulo teams are doing in the Brasileirão.
Bragantino
Initially, Bragantino is the team from São Paulo with the best results, at least with 10 rounds to go. There are 52 points in 28 rounds, with 14 wins and 10 draws, there are 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 games.
Tomorrow Bragantino faces Atlético Mineiro de Felipão, who need a good result after losing the classic against Cruzeiro. Despite being a difficult game, Bragantino has been playing good football, with great speed and great use.
Palm trees
Palmeiras is one of the biggest frustrations of 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 needed to divide efforts and wear down its squad.
The bad results in the other championships ended up having negative effects on the Brazilian Championship as well. Abel Ferreira's team is at its worst moment in recent years, poor results and poor performance.
There are 47 points in 28 games, with 13 wins and 8 draws, 4 defeats and 1 victory in the last 5 games. In addition to a terrible performance, and tomorrow there is still a classic against São Paulo. How are the São Paulo teams doing in the Brasileirão?
São Paulo
Firstly, the São Paulo team divided its attention with the Brazilian and South American Cups, being champions of the Brazilian Cup. 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 victory was achieved away from home, and the classic against Palmeiras is away.
There were 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in the last 5 games, the good victory against Grêmio brought relief, after all the performance was very bad. After winning the Copa do Brasil, the team played bad football, 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 didn't win anything this year, and is going through one of its worst moments in recent years. Being just 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 draw 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 will face many difficulties. Depending on the other results, the team could end up at Z4 in this round, which would be terrible.
Santos
Finally, the worst of the São Paulo teams is Santos, not just because of the shameful 7-1 defeat to Internacional. But throughout their championship, with just 30 points, Santos is in the relegation zone.

Needing to win their games, the team had good victories until losing against Internacional in the way they did. Therefore, the next games should be very complicated, and the competition to leave the Z4 is with big teams like Vasco, Corinthians, and Cruzeiro.
In addition to Goiás fighting to remain in the first division, the last 10 rounds promise great excitement. This Brazilian championship could be marked for São Paulo as one of the worst, if any São Paulo player falls, even more so.
