Home games are a must-win to collect points

If the mission is tough away from home, at São Januário the obligation to win is even greater. The Cruz-Maltino will host São Paulo and, in the last match of the sequence, Juventude. The clash against the team from Rio Grande do Sul is seen as a “six-point match,” as they are direct competitors in the lower part of the table.
