Santos hope rivals win to avoid relegation in Brasileirão, here’s why | OneFootball

Santos will start cheering for a historical rival in this final stretch of the Brazilian Championship to avoid relegation in Série A. The Peixe, currently in the relegation zone, has only three more games in the competition to try to stay in the elite of national football and hopes to count on the help of São Paulo.

The São Paulo Tricolor will face in this final stretch of the Brasileirão the two main competitors of Santos for staying in Série A: Internacional and Vitória.

São Paulo will host Inter, probably at Morumbi, on December 3rd, at 8 PM (Brasília time), for the penultimate round of the Brazilian Championship. A victory of the Tricolor over Colorado, depending on other results, could push the gaucho club into the relegation zone and take Santos out of the Z4.

As if that weren't enough, in the last round of the Brasileirão, São Paulo visits Vitória, at Barradão, on December 7th, at 4 PM (Brasília time), a match that could determine the outcome of the competition, as the Bahian Rubro-Negro is the first team outside the relegation zone, with just one point more than Santos.

The Peixe, which did not take advantage of Monday's game against Internacional, drawing 1-1 at Beira-Rio, will still have another direct confrontation in the fight against relegation, against Juventude, away, on December 3rd, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time). Before that, they face the already relegated Sport, at Vila Belmiro, on Friday, and conclude their participation in the Brasileirão on the 7th, against Cruzeiro, also at home.
