Rivaldo hails Remo’s Série B run, tips his favourites for promotion | OneFootball

Five-time world champion with the Brazilian National Team, Rivaldo analyzed the last round of the Série B of the Brazilian Championship. The final stretch of the competition promises strong emotions, with five clubs still fighting for the three remaining spots in the national elite. The former number 10 pointed out his three favorites and highlighted the campaign of Remo, from Pará, in the race for promotion.

“It would be great to see Remo return to Série A. It’s a club with a lot of tradition, and it’s been a long time since they played in the first division. Remo is in the fight, having a good campaign in Série B, very interesting under the command of Guto Ferreira,” he told Betfair.

“After so long away from Série A and with the journey of climbing up the table and growing at the final stretch, of course I’ll be rooting for Remo, hoping they can get the win and return to the Brasileirão next year,” he added.

Favorites for Promotion

In addition to praising the club from Pará, the five-time champion also commented on the qualification scenarios of the other clubs involved in the race.

“Athletico Paranaense has a great chance to qualify for Série A, since a draw is enough, and they’re still fighting for the title if they win. Criciúma also has everything to secure qualification; they play away against Cuiabá in a tough match. Remo plays at home against Goiás and Chapecoense, who are in fifth, also have a great chance to qualify with a home win against Atlético Goianiense,” he highlighted.

“I believe the teams that will qualify are Coritiba, who already have their spot secured and are my favorites for the title, Athletico-PR, Criciúma, and Remo will complete the list of qualifiers,” Rivaldo concluded.

The five clubs still fighting for the remaining spots in the 2026 Série A will take the field for the last round of Série B this Sunday at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
