With this Saturday’s results, for the 10th round of the Guanabara Cup, the path to the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca is well designed. Vasco and Botafogo compete for the last spot. Flamengo, Fluminense and Nova Iguaçu are already guaranteed, with the place of each one in the final classification yet to be defined.
For Vasco to qualify for the semi-final:
– Just beat Portuguesa, in São Januário;
– If they don’t beat Portuguesa, it will depend on Botafogo stumbling against Fluminense;
For Botafogo to qualify for the semi-final:
– In addition to beating Fluminense, Vasco needs a stumble against Portuguesa.
GB Cup title dispute open
Flamengo and Fluminense face each other this Sunday, at 4pm, at Maracanã, in the complement of the 10th round. Both have 21 points at the top of the Guanabara Cup, the same score as Nova Iguaçu, who beat Portuguesa this Saturday and have a game more.
At the moment, Flamengo has an advantage on goal difference against Fluminense (17 to 10). In the last round, they face Madureira and Botafogo, respectively. Whoever wins this Sunday’s classic will be able to draw their last game to take the Guanabara Cup title.
If the classic ends in a draw, Flamengo will have an advantage in the final round due to the difference in goal difference compared to Fluminense. In other words, if both win their games against Madureira and Botafogo, Fluminense will need to score seven goals to win the title. If Flamengo stumbles against Madureira, Fluminense would win the title by beating Botafogo.
Nova Iguaçu also has a chance of becoming champion. In case of a draw in the classic this Sunday, Nova Iguaçu will need new stumbles from Flamengo and Fluminense in the last round, in addition to beating Volta Redonda. If there is a winner in the classic, Nova Iguaçu’s situation to be champion is complicated by the difference in goal difference.
Vasco still has a remote chance of winning the GB Cup. For this reason, this Sunday’s Fla-Flu cannot have a winner. Thus, in the last round, they will need to beat Portuguesa, in addition to victories by Madureira and Botafogo over Flamengo and Fluminense and a stumble by Nova Iguaçu against Volta Redonda. They would also have to take away 11 goals from the difference in relation to Flamengo.
