Internacional, in 15th position, stayed at 32 points in 27 games after losing to Mirassol away, 3-1.

Atlético-MG has the same number of points and matches as the team from Rio Grande do Sul, as they drew 1-1 at home in the derby against Cruzeiro. Santos, who beat Corinthians themselves this Wednesday (15), reached 31 points in 27 matches, remaining the first team outside the relegation zone (Z4).

Vitória, the first team inside the relegation zone with 25 points in 27 games, will face Bahia at Estádio do Barradão on the night of Thursday (16), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
