Target set: what Cruzeiro need to enter the break in the top five | OneFootball

Cruzeiro plans to enjoy the Brasileirão break INSIDE the G-5. To do that, the club needs TWO results.

The 28th round will be played this weekend. After that, the league will only resume in early October.

Cruzeiro will visit Vitória at 4 p.m. on Sunday (20), at Barradão.

Artur Jorge’s team will then face São Paulo on Wednesday, October 7, at 9:30 p.m., at Mineirão.

G-5 calculations 🧮

Only ONE combination puts Cruzeiro in the G-5 this round.

Cruzeiro needs to beat Vitória and hope for a Fluminense loss.

If that happens, Cruzeiro would reach 45 points (the same as Flu) and move ahead of the Rio club on number of wins.

Fluminense visits Corinthians at 4 p.m. on Sunday (20).

Right now, the G-5 is made up of Flamengo (57 points), Palmeiras (56), Athletico (46), Bahia (46), and Flu (45).
