The São Paulo side comes from achieving a historic comeback against Liga de Quito from Ecuador in the semifinals, as after losing 3-0 in the first leg, they won 4-0 at Allianz Parque and secured their place in the decisive Libertadores match. Previously, they had eliminated River in the quarterfinals (5-2 aggregate), Universitario of Peru in the round of 16 (4-0 aggregate), and won all six matches in Group G, which they shared with Cerro Porteño of Paraguay, Bolívar of Bolivia, and Sporting Cristal of Peru.

However, Abel Ferreira's team is going through a tough time in the Brasileirao and has gone five matches without a win, with three losses and two draws, leaving them on the verge of losing the championship precisely to Flamengo. With two games left to play, Palmeiras is five points behind Fla, and the league seems like a utopia.

On the other hand, Mengao reached the final after a hard-fought draw against Racing at the Cilindro de Avellaneda, but taking advantage of the lead they secured in Rio de Janeiro (1-0). In the quarterfinals, they also struggled against Estudiantes, eliminating them 4-2 on penalties (3-3 aggregate), while in the round of 16 they beat Internacional of Porto Alegre by winning both matches (3-0 aggregate). In the group stage, they finished second in Group C with 11 points, behind Liga de Quito but also tied on points with Central Córdoba, who finished third but with a worse goal difference.

At the same time, Flamengo is the absolute leader of the Brasileirao with 75 points, five more than their pursuer Palmeiras, with six points still up for grabs. Next Wednesday, they will host Ceará at the Maracanã, knowing that if they win, they will add another league title to their record, but also knowing that it could be a double celebration if they beat Verdao in Lima.
