Novorizontino holds the top spot in the Série B table with 70 points after 37 rounds and a commanding goal difference, bolstered by a 2-1 comeback victory over Fortaleza on November 7 that mathematically secured promotion to Série A. Their recent winning sequence and strong home form have positioned the club as the frontrunner for the title, reflecting trader consensus around their consistency and points advantage over second-placed Juventude. The Gaúchos trail closely on 68 points with solid defensive records but face a tougher path to overtake in the final round. Fortaleza, Criciúma, and Vila Nova remain in the G-6 mix for playoff promotion spots yet sit further adrift on 62-66 points, limiting their realistic championship upside despite competitive recent results.
