Fortaleza, São Bernardo, Sport, Vila Nova, Operário-PR, Criciúma, and Juventude, in that order, begin the eighth round as the seven top-scoring teams in Brazil’s Série B Championship. Depending on the results, any of them could take over the lead after the match between Londrina and São Bernardo, which will close out the round on Tuesday (12) at 7:30 p.m. at Vitorino Dias, in Londrina.

The 2026 competition has been marked by balance. Fortaleza leads with 14 points and will face Avaí this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at Ressacada. São Bernardo, with 13, will wait for Londrina.

Sport, meanwhile, plays this Saturday against Ponte Preta at 6:30 p.m. at Moisés Lucarelli. A little earlier, in a very traditional derby, Vila Nova visits Goiás at Hailé Pinheiro at 4 p.m. — also a very important match for Goiás, which is in the relegation zone.
