Teams in the fight ⚔️

Check out what each team needs to do to be promoted to Série A of the Brasileirão:

Athletico - 2nd with 62 points

Faces América-MG at Arena da Baixada. A draw is enough to guarantee promotion. If they lose, they'll have to hope for Criciúma, Goiás OR Chape to slip up.

Criciúma - 3rd with 61 points

Visits Cuiabá in the final round. If they win, promotion is guaranteed. If they stumble, they'll have to hope that Goiás or Chape DO NOT win.

Goiás - 4th with 61 points

Visits Remo in a DIRECT clash. If they win, they go up to Série A. If they lose/draw, they'll have to hope Chapecoense slips up.

Chapecoense - 5th with 59 points

Hosts Atlético-GO. They must win. In addition, they'll have to hope for Athletico, Criciúma OR Goiás (one of these) to slip up.

Remo - 6th with 59 points

They'll have to beat Goiás at home. In addition, they'll need ONE more favorable result (a stumble from Athletico, Criciúma OR Chapecoense).

Fight for the title 🏆

Rivals Coritiba and Athletico will compete for the title. Coxa needs just a draw against already relegated Amazonas away from home.

Athletico, on the other hand, needs to beat América-MG at home and hope that Coxa LOSES.
