The team's coach, Dorival Júnior, has stated that they must return to the Brasileirão and cannot falter, with the goal of scoring and delivering a chance to the fans. However, the club's executive, Rafinha, has adopted a more optimistic tone, projecting more ambitious goals for the remainder of the competition.
Historically, 45 points are considered a reference for escaping relegation, and the team needs to achieve this goal in the remaining 12 games. To do so, they require a 33.3% win rate, which is lower than their current 42% win rate in the competition. Four wins in the remaining 12 games would be sufficient for the São Paulo to reach the 45-point mark.
The team also has ambitions to secure a spot in an international competition, with a target of 50 points to achieve this goal. This would require them to win five games and draw two, with a 47.2% win rate in the remaining games.
Finally, the team is also aiming to secure a spot in the Libertadores, which would require them to achieve 62 points in the remaining games, with a 80.6% win rate. This would involve winning nine games, drawing two, and losing only one.
