    And at the halfway point there were pundits saying the league was wrapped up already…

    5 rounds to go and the first and 4th placed teams meet this weekend, before the final stretch after the return from the international break.

    Bragantino’s match in hand is against Flamengo, and Botafogo’s is against Fortaleza if I’m not mistaken. Fortaleza are no pushover, despite being all the way down in 11th, they can climb up to 8th with their matches in hand.

    The fight for the top 4 Libertadores spots is going to be mad, and none of those top 4 or even 6 teams are guaranteed to hold on to that coveted spot while also believing they can win the whole thing.

      I mean, tbf no one was expecting what is happening atm, if Botafogo was half decent they would still be like easily 6 or 9 points ahead without considering the missing game.

      They went from 2 defeats in 19 games to 9 defeats in 32.

      They lost almost 4 times more in the last 13 games than they did in first 19.
