Following elimination from the Copa Sul-Americana by Boca Juniors, São Paulo FC has shifted its focus to the Campeonato Brasileiro. The club initially prioritized reaching a ‘45-point goal’ to avoid relegation, a benchmark previously advocated by former coach Hernán Crespo.

As the season progresses, the club’s objectives have evolved toward securing a position in the Copa Libertadores. Coach Dorival Júnior has identified a lack of consistency and frequent performance oscillations as the primary obstacles to climbing the league table, noting that the team must transform individual results into a sustained sequence of victories to remain competitive for a top-tier finish.
