Colorado is looking for a miracle to stay in the top flight and Massa Prota is still dreaming of a possible place in the pre-Libertadores stage.
The 38th and final round of the Brazilian championship promises exciting matches, where there are still goals up for grabs, as is the case with Internacional x Bragantino. The teams will measure the forces, at 4pm (Brasilia time), in Beira Rio, next Sunday (07/12). They even show tournament irregularities, but they’re in different areas of the leaderboard. Colorado is in the relegation zone in 18th place with 41 points. Massa Brotta is in ninth place with 48.
Where to watch
The match will be broadcast exclusively on Premiere, pay-per-view, starting at 3:40pm (Brasilia time).
How does it arrive internationally?
Colorado did not achieve a win in three rounds in the Brazilian League, as it tied in the direct confrontation against Santos, in addition to two consecutive defeats. By the way, two negative results with flexible scores. Defeating Vasco 5-1, also in a decisive match, and defeating Sao Paulo 3-0 in the last round.
With the poor sequence in the previous three rounds, Internacional lost its advantage in the tie-break criteria, and was overtaken by its rivals in the relegation fight and entered Z4. Therefore, victory over Bragantino is decisive in the mission to remain in the first division, but it will not be enough.
This is because it does not rely solely on an individual’s own strengths and requires a range of outcomes. In this case, Fortaleza will not beat Botafogo in Nilton Santos, Vitoria will not beat Sao Paulo in Paradão, and Ceara will not beat Palmeiras in Castelao. Coach Abel Braga will bring back striker Carbonero, who was suspended against Sao Paulo. As a result, the Colombian is responsible for the only uncertainty in the team between himself, Borre and Vitinho. The tendency is for the experienced leader to maintain the training that initiated the previous commitment.
How does Bragantino arrive?
Massa Prota maintains the wobbly script that is the protagonist of her campaign in Brazil 2025. The Sao Paulo team has not drawn for two months. After four consecutive defeats, they achieved a three-game winning streak. After that, there were two more negative results until they beat Vitoria 4-0, in Bragança Paulista, in the last match.
Despite being in mid-table, Bragantino is still driven by an obsession with eighth place. The team is competing for the position with Sao Paulo, which currently occupies the position with 51 points, three points behind the team coming from within. Both are seeking this position, as there is a chance to secure a place in the preliminary stage for the upcoming Libertadores tournament. That is if Cruzeiro or Fluminense, both in the Group of Seven, win the Brazilian Cup. Coach Wagner Mancini must also replicate the starting line-up that led to the defeat over Leao da Barra. The only doubt is on the right flank between Andres Hurtado and Nathan Mendes.
