| In the Brazilian league, the fluctuation in performance is really enormous. Traditional clubs like Santos are now languishing in the second division, while even big teams like Corinthians and Fluminense are currently fighting hard against relegation. This situation makes the league more exciting than ever. Sao Paulo recoredd only one win in the last five competitive matches and that is not a form that inspires confidence. Sao Paulo team has struggled in recent weeks. The pressure of participating in several competitions has left it's mark. The players have had to compete in many different formats, which has only increased fatigue and with a few other injured players the situation is even more complicated. This means that Sao Paulo is going to be without several key players who normally play an important role on the pitch. Vasco managed to win the first match against this opponent and only lost once in a Serie A game since August against a superior team like Palmeiras. This speaks for the stability of the team. |
