TRAJECTORY OF THE CARIOCÃO
The Carioca Championship will follow the same format of its last seasons: initially, the 12 teams will play 11 rounds in the system of points, which are worth fighting for Guanabara Cup; then, the four best teams in the classification define the semifinals and the final of the state tournament, which is scheduled for April 2nd and 9th (round trip).
IN SEASON
The teams come from different moments of the current season. O Botafogo battle to climb to the G4 of the state tournament and secure a place in the semifinals; with the presence of Glorioso, the knockout would be formed only by carioca classics. The team of Luis Castro has the same campaign as Round Round (fourth place), but is worse off on goal difference.
Portuguesa, on the other hand, will not compete in the competition’s qualifiers, but manages, until then, to get rid of relegation; even if he loses, he will still be safe in Rio’s first division. Lusa added two wins, two draws and four defeats, a campaign that gave them ten points in ten completed rounds.
