Internacional and Vitoria need to win in the final round to have a chance to escape relegation. However, they have to hope to defeat their rivals outright.
The situation in Colorado is more complex: it needs to hope to lose its rivals, including Vitoria, Fortaleza, Ceara, and Santos. In the case of Pixie, it is still necessary to eliminate the seven-goal difference.
On the other hand, Bahian FC needs a direct competitor (the duo of Ceara, Santos or Atletico MG) to lose. In Gallo’s case, Vitoria will need to score 12 goals. A draw lowers the team’s level
As for the other clubs, they depend only on themselves and play for three points or with a score equal to Inter and Vitoria.
