This model could only be applied in large countries and with a significant number of clubs per region, otherwise it would become extremely unbalanced and without great spectacle.
I also have this idea, that Palmeiras, Flamengo and Atletico MG are the main candidates. But this is perhaps a vision of someone outside Brazil.
It's work for large country with a huge number of teams
As you guys know, Brazil have tons of teams, this is the country of soccer
Just an example, here in my state, São Paulo, we have 84 professional teams registered and in activity, playing regular in Campeonato Paulista
And your vision is right, in Brazil we have the same opinion, these 3 teams are the favorite to win Brasileirão.
You are welcome!
In my opinion the favorite is Palmeiras, followed by Flamengo and Corinthians. These are the most relevant clubs on the currently moment, not only nationally, but worldwide.
Next two games between Palmeiras and Sao Paulo for the Campeonato Paulista will be also important events in order to conclude if Sao Paulo can be considered well prepared for the season.
My team of heart os Corinthians, but it's sad to say we are not the favorite this time, we lost to Sao Paulo yesterday, and was clear that our team is very old, and they were tired, it's something to worry
If Vitor Pereira wants to finish the championship in a good position, and Libertadores, he needs to find good players under 25 years to find a balance
And I agree with you, Sao paulo vs Palmeiras will be a good match to see if Sao Paulo can fight for the title in this season
