Inter de Limeira seeks decisive victory for Série B promotion

Inter de Limeira is preparing for a decisive match against Brusque this Saturday at the Major José Levy Sobrinho Stadium. The game, part of the fifth round of Group C in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, could secure the team's promotion to Série B for the 2027 season.

Currently in second place in Group C with six points, Inter de Limeira sits behind leader Ferroviária (eight points) and ahead of Brusque (five points). A victory would significantly bolster their chances of returning to the second division after a 35-year absence. The club has initially released 10,000 tickets for sale, with the possibility of increasing capacity based on demand.

Coach Matheus Costa faces squad challenges, including goalkeeper Saulo, who is sidelined with a tendon and hamstring injury. Costa currently holds the fifth-best coaching record for Inter de Limeira in the 21st century, with a 52.1% win rate over 23 matches.
