What will happen next?

With the end of the Brazilian Cup getting near, São Paulo's followers must be wondering, what is up with all these bad games? São Paulo has wasted the opportunity to be tied with Palmeiras in 1st place. If he had won the last two games, São Paulo would have 54 points, the same as Palmeiras. Was it all about bad luck or is São Paulo playing badly?

The Cup is still open for new champions. Palmeiras is not VERY ahead of the teams. Only two losses are necessary for São Paulo to pass him (if São Paulo wins of course). Not only São Paulo, but other teams like Internacional still has a chance to win. There is no way to predict what will happen in the last 9 games.

The constant undecision of who will play in the attack of São Paulo may be one of the reasons why São Paulo isn't scoring like he is used to. Washington and Borges (São Paulo's attack players) have been each playing randomly. This might be one of the reasons that influence the difficulty to score goals São Paulo is facing. São Paulo has scored 40 goals in the Brazilian Cup, the worse attack of the teams who are in G-4. According to Washington, a sequence of games is important for a player to generate confidence and be able to score goals. He says that revising with Borges might explain as to why São Paulo has only scored 40 goals in 29 games.
