On Thursday (2), São Paulo has the chance to escape relegation in the Brazilian Championship and, as a bonus, confirm the fall of their opponent, Grêmio, to Serie B.
In Porto Alegre, the tricolor club from Rio Grande do Sul receives the São Paulo club, at 8 pm (Brasilia time). The match will be broadcast by SportTV and Premiere.
São Paulo enters the field with 45 points, in 12th position. If they win, they overtake Santos, currently 11th.
To get rid of the threat of relegation once and for all, the Morumbi team needs to beat Grêmio and hope that Atlético-MG doesn’t lose to Bahia, in a game scheduled for the same day, but at 18:00. The northeastern club is ranked 16th, with 40 points, the first in the sticking zone
As controversial as it may seem, despite still having chances of falling, São Paulo must also qualify for the next Libertadores.
In case of victory, the tricolor from São Paulo will be just one point behind América-MG, 8th place, the first within the classification zone for the continental tournament.
São Paulo, however, shouldn’t have an easy life in Porto Alegre, as Grêmio, currently 18th with 36 points, desperately needs to win to continue trying to escape the national second division.
If they lose, the gremistas can be relegated if Bahia has beaten Atlético-MG or if Athletico-PR scores against Cuiabá, on Friday (3).
