With only a few games left in this year’s Brasileirão, the calculators are out. Clubs are scrambling to figure out what they need to hit their goals in these final rounds, but for Bahia, the goal is crystal clear: history. This team is putting together a season for the ages, currently sitting at 53 points, and they are on the verge of something truly special.
High Stakes and Record Chasers
Bahia is just seven points shy of their highest points total ever in a league-format Brasileirão season, which was 60 back in 2025. Most teams still have four games left to play, meaning there are 12 points up for grabs. That means hitting a new club record is totally within reach if they can keep this momentum going! Can they make it happen? It is going to be absolutely wild to watch.
Other clubs are also stacking up serious points. Flamengo is sitting at 76 points right now, well above their average of 62.4 per season. They’ve hit a staggering 90 points before in 2019, so they know what it takes to dominate. Palmeiras is also having a strong run with 73 current points, comfortably above their 63.3 seasonal average. Their best season was 81 points in 2022, so they’re another squad that’s proven they can hit those elite numbers. These historical points totals, collected since 2006 when it became a 20-team competition, truly show the stakes for every club.
Fighting for Every Point
While some teams are eyeing new records, others are battling to avoid the wrong kind of history. Corinthians is currently at 37 points, which is actually *below* their lowest points total of 44, which they hit in 2007. Grêmio is in a similar spot, also at 37 points, and their lowest total previously was 43 in 2021. For these clubs, every single point from here on out is critical just to avoid their worst campaigns ever.
Botafogo is sitting at 42 points, quite a bit below their average of 51.7. And then there’s Remo, competing in the 20-team, league-format Brasileirão for the first time with 29 current points. This is a tough league, and the pressure is real for these teams as the season winds down.
Four games, 12 points. Five games, 15 points for Vasco and Chapecoense, who have a postponed match. The pressure is on as the Brasileirão winds down. Will Bahia etch their name in the record books? Can clubs like Corinthians and Grêmio pull themselves up from historic lows? Every single match from here on out is going to be absolutely massive. You do not want to miss how this plays out!
