As projeções do Departamento de Matemática da UFMG para título, Libertadores e rebaixamento no Brasileirão 2026 foram atualizadas, e as chances de Flamengo e Palmeiras na briga pelo caneco seguem as mesmas.

Referência em estatística aplicada ao futebol, a UFMG mantém o Flamengo — que segurou a liderança ao vencer por 3 a 2 nesta segunda-feira — com 69,6% de chance de título. O Palmeiras, que também venceu o seu jogo, aparece com 30,4%.

Cruzeiro e Athletico ainda têm chances no papel, mas o departamento zerou as possibilidades dos dois. A combinação necessária é improvável: a Raposa e o Furacão teriam de ganhar todos os jogos, o Flamengo só poderia somar dois pontos e o Palmeiras, três, com o duelo entre os líderes terminando empatado.

Flamengo e Palmeiras estão garantidos no G6 pelas contas da UFMG, e Cruzeiro e Athletico-PR caminham firmes, com chances acima dos 85%. O departamento ressalva que trabalha apenas com o G6; como tudo indica que ao menos o G7 dará vaga, a análise será ampliada quando houver definição. Com as seis vagas atuais, 12 times ainda podem chegar lá.

No outro extremo, Chapecoense e Remo estão praticamente rebaixados, com mais de 99% de chance de queda cada um. Já a vitória gremista nesta segunda-feira agravou a situação do Corinthians, que agora aparece com 66% de risco. Pelas contas da UFMG, 12 clubes ainda estão ameaçados, mas Bragantino e São Paulo precisariam de uma sequência improvável de resultados para terminar no Z4.
