The Rio de Janeiro club won both the league title and the Copa Libertadores last season. However, a disastrous start to 2026 led to a managerial change. Even so, setbacks have continued to occur. In the Copa Libertadores, they progressed to the knockout stage after overcoming Cruzeiro, only to immediately lose to the same opponent in Serie A. They subsequently thrashed Botafogo 3-0.
The club from the outskirts of São Paulo finished fourth in their debut Brasileirão campaign last season. That result earned them a place in the Copa Libertadores, where the Brazilians reached the knockout stage, drawing twice with LDU Quito before being eliminated on penalties. At the domestic level, however, the former newcomers have suffered a sharp decline and are now fighting against relegation, with little success so far. They did manage to take points off Palmeiras, drawing 1-1.
The champions are currently averaging two goals scored per match while conceding 0.88. The relegation candidates are managing just 1.13 goals per game, while allowing 1.54 on average.
