Despite the draw against Atlético-MG in the last round, Flamengo only needs a victory in this round to win the Brasileirão for the eighth time. Palmeiras, on the other hand, needs three points to avoid the Rio celebration; otherwise, the title goes to Filipe Luís's team. The Alviverde has only a 2.8% chance of winning the title, according to studies released by UFMG.
The title will be decided in the final round if Palmeiras beats Atlético-MG. Any other result for Verdão guarantees the Rio team's victory in this scenario.
The title will be decided in the final round if Palmeiras beats Atlético-MG. If the São Paulo team does not win, Flamengo celebrates the title even if they lose to Ceará.
In the 38th round, Flamengo would travel to Mirassol and would still rely on its own strength against the home team to lift the trophy. Meanwhile, Palmeiras would still need to beat Ceará away and hope for a defeat of the Rio team to surpass 75 points and be crowned champion.
