A nerve-racking Saturday | OneFootball

A nerve-racking Saturday awaits, with a tense 16:00 kick-off and an even more fraught 17:00. According to Globo.com, both fixtures carry real jeopardy.

Inter sit in the Z-4 amid an apparently insoluble crisis and do not go in as favourites against Chapecoense. Their away record is better than at home, yet recent setbacks have come regardless of postcode.

Pezzolano crossed a first threshold with the defeat to Santos. Since then, the working environment has felt suffocating under pressure sanctioned by the board. Even with a win on Saturday, Inter will not leave the Z-4, and this game marks another chapter in a grim saga.

One hour earlier, Grêmio host Vasco da Gama at the Arena in what feels like their World Cup. Progress in the Copa do Brasil proved fleeting, followed quickly by defeat to Vitória.

The Rio club keep adding reinforcements but remain in the Z-4. Victory at the Arena would be a springboard to climb out.

Once again, no gaúcho side start this Brasileirão round as favourites. There is one exception, Juventude on Sunday, at home to Athletic in Série B.
