All you need to know for Flamengo v Corinthians | OneFootball

Flamengo host Corinthians at the Maracanã on Sunday 13 in the Brasileirão’s 27th round, with the sides arriving in contrasting moments.

According to Coluna Do Fla, kick-off is at 17:30 Brasília time.

Flamengo are chasing the title with 54 points from 26 matches, but arrive fatigued after a trip to Quito where they beat Independiente del Valle in the Libertadores. Coach Leonardo Jardim is expected to rest some starters, with Léo Pereira, Jorginho and Arrascaeta not tipped to begin.

Probable XI: Rossi, Varela, Danilo, Léo Ortiz, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar, Lucas Paquetá, Jorge Carrascal, Plata, Samuel Lino (Luiz Araújo), Pedro.

Corinthians are 12th on 32 points. Fernando Diniz faces important decisions, as Memphis Depay asked to sit out due to muscle discomfort, and injuries leave further absences.

TV coverage is on Globo nationwide with Luís Roberto on commentary, on Premiere with Paulo Andrade, and on GETV with Jorge Iggor.

Flamengo’s leadership is on the line after Palmeiras beat São Paulo 2-0 on Saturday 12 at Nubank Parque. A win would take them back to the top.

After this match, Flamengo return on Thursday 17 at the Maracanã, hosting Independiente del Valle in the Libertadores quarter-final second leg with a 2-0 advantage, aiming to secure a semi-final place.
