Palmeiras is still alive in the fight for the Brasileirão title, but needs to keep an eye on a scenario that depends on Botafogo stumbling.
To be champion, the ideal world is to win the match against Cruzeiro, at Mineirão, and against Fluminense, at Allianz Parque. If they want to have any chance of being champions, Verdão needs to at least win one of the matches.
Furthermore, they should hope that Botafogo stumbles against Internacional or São Paulo. If Glorioso wins both duels or wins one and draws the other, there is nothing they can do to take the title.
If Botafogo loses any of these matches, Verdão will only need to win both matches to lift the cup.
With an eye on the first challenge, he takes to the field this Wednesday (4), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
