For the 13th round of the 2026 Brasileirão, São Paulo takes the field this Saturday (25) at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), when they face Mirassol at Brinco de Ouro — Guarani’s home ground, in Campinas.
After two rounds without a win, Tricolor Paulista remains in fourth place with 20 points — nine points behind leaders Palmeiras.
Meanwhile, Leão Caipira sits in third-from-bottom place (18th) with nine points — with one game in hand.
The match is another “must-win” for coach Roger Machado, who has been dealing with criticism and boos from the tricolor fans.
The situation worsened with a negative run of two defeats in the national championship (against Vitória and Vasco).
Not even the wins over O'Higgins and Juventude, in the Copa Sudamericana and the Copa do Brasil respectively, were enough to calm the mood in the MorumBIS stands.
Compared to the last match (the 1-0 win over Juventude in the first leg of the fifth round of the national tournament), coach Roger Machado opted to bring in Sabino and Bobadilla in place of Alan Franco and Luan, respectively, for São Paulo.
