Between relegation and Libertadores
Beforehand, the São Paulo team plays today and is between relegation and the Libertadores.
In case of victory
In principle, if São Paulo beats Grêmio today in Porto Alegre, it will be just 1 point behind América Mineiro, in eighth place today.
You can still keep your dream of competing in the Libertadores in 2022 alive.
So there will still be two games left, one against Juventude at Morumbi and the last against América Mineiro.
Above all, the team will escape the risk of being relegated once and for all, bringing a minimum of relief to the fans.
Evidently, they will still need good results in the last two games to think about a Libertadores.
Today, at the moment the team is in, I don't see São Paulo's participation in next year's Libertadores with optimism.
It is already known that the team will enter with many financial restrictions and with an even weaker squad than the current one, at least that is what the budget suggests.
It would be better to enter a South American championship, a championship that theoretically has a weaker technical level, and the team has the possibility of winning.
In case of defeat
First of all, if São Paulo loses to Grêmio today it will be a disaster for the Tricolor's plans.
Furthermore, Grêmio managed to concede 47 goals in the championship, and is under much greater pressure than São Paulo.
However, if São Paulo loses the tricolor, the teams below may come very close, Cuiabá, Athletico for example will still enter the field.
Between relegation and the Libertadores this is the reality, today São Paulo could be 1 point away from the Libertadores or 2 away from relegation.
In the same way, Grêmio will come with all their strength to win the match, there is no other result to help the team from Rio Grande do Sul.
As the rounds go by, the pressure only increases on the Grêmio team.
For the gauchos, it's win or win.
