It looks as though they will survive a wild ride in Serie A this year, but there is a lot of work to do for the mighty Sao Paulo to re-establish themselves as a dominant club in Brazil.

Thursday was perhaps the worst road game that this side have played since Rogerio Ceni took over as manager, firing only one targeted effort and dropping a 3-0 decision to Gremio, a side who look to be on their way down into the second tier of Brazilian football.

They return to their home field, having lost only one of their last 12 league fixtures at Cicero Pompeu de Toledo Stadium, and conceding in only one of their previous five matches played there, so they will fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways.

看起来他们将在今年的意甲联赛中幸存下来，但对于强大的圣保罗来说，他们还有很多工作要做，以重新建立自己在巴西的统治地位。

周四的比赛可能是自罗杰里奥·塞尼担任主教练以来，这支球队最糟糕的客场比赛，他们只做出了一次有目标的努力，并以3-0的比分输给格雷米奥，这支球队看起来正在向巴西足球的二级水平下降。

他们回到了自己的主场，在西塞罗·庞贝·德·托莱多球场(Cicero Pompeu de Toledo Stadium)的12场联赛中只输了一场，之前在那里的5场比赛中只输了一场，所以他们会想象自己有多大的机会重返胜利之路。
