### Current Form
São Paulo is navigating a period of instability, with three matches without a win – two defeats and a draw. This slump mirrors a similar dip in form experienced during the Campeonato Paulista. Returning to the Morumbi, the Tricolor aims to rediscover their winning touch and maintain their position near the top of the Brasileirão standings.
Cruzeiro, under the guidance of Artur Jorge, is looking to build momentum after a convincing 3-0 victory over Vitória at the Mineirão, marking their first win of the competition. Despite the win, the Raposa remains in the relegation zone with seven points and seeks a consistent run of positive results to climb out of the bottom four.
