Overview
- Sport and Juventude are already relegated, leaving five clubs at risk, with UFMG modeling Internacional as most threatened (~77%) and Vitória-BA next (~65%), followed by Fortaleza, Ceará and Santos.
- Safety and qualification hinge on simultaneous matchups: Ceará vs Palmeiras, Botafogo vs Fortaleza, Internacional vs Bragantino, Vitória-BA vs São Paulo, and Santos vs Cruzeiro.
- Ceará and Fortaleza start above the drop zone and guarantee survival with victories, while draws or losses would require specific stumbles by rivals to avoid relegation.
- Fluminense host Bahia in a direct duel for fifth place and a Libertadores group-stage berth, as Botafogo must beat Fortaleza and hope for a draw at the Maracanã to join the G5.
- Premiere and Globo carry the decisive fixtures at 16:00, with reports indicating a rotated Palmeiras at Ceará and a largely reserve Cruzeiro at Santos due to midweek cup commitments.
