O Corinthians segue na zona de rebaixamento. O empate sem gols com o São Paulo, na quarta-feira (4), não tirou o Timão do lugar, mas trouxe alívio nos números: segundo levantamento do Departamento de Matemática da UFMG, o risco de rebaixamento no Brasileirão caiu de 66,4% para 54,9% nas duas últimas rodadas.
Quem está praticamente na Série B é o Remo: após levar 6 a 1 do Palmeiras, o clube paraense atingiu 99,95% de risco de queda, juntando-se à Chapecoense, já rebaixada.
O levantamento ainda pode mudar: o Vitória, 15º colocado, joga pela 34ª rodada contra o Fluminense, e o resultado mexe nos percentuais da briga contra o descenso.
