The teams meet this Wednesday (17), for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil
About to face Sport this Wednesday (17), for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, São Paulo has an ace up its sleeve. In this case, the great performance he holds in more than ten years against the opponent.
Since 2001, Tricolor has only been defeated three times by Leão da Ilha. The most recent was in 2015, when the Morumbi club lost 2-0 in that year’s Brazilian championship. The match took place in Recife, at the opponent’s home. In addition to this defeat, the other two of this time interval occurred. These in 2014 (from 1 to 0) and in September 2001 (from 1 to 0).
Throughout history, the two teams have met 50 times. Of these, São Paulo have won 30, drawn 11 and lost just nine. Furthermore, Tricolore’s goal difference is also superior: they have scored almost double the number of goals scored by the north-eastern club. In numbers, there were 84 goals scored and 41 conceded.
However, it is worth highlighting a point in which Sport took the lead, in this case, in home games. At home, Leão da Ilha has already beaten São Paulo eight times, drawing nine and losing seven. And it is worth noting that this Wednesday’s duel (17th) takes place right on Ilha do Retiro.
Even so, the Tricolore have this positive record in their favor – even if the teams haven’t faced each other since 2021 – in a match that took place at Morumbi and San Paolo won 2-0, with goals from Calleri and Gabriel Sara.
This Wednesday’s duel (17) takes place at 20 (from Brasilia). But the decision, in fact, will be at the Morumbi stadium on June 1st.
