Bruno Fuchs admits Palmeiras are hoping for a Flamengo slip | OneFootball

Palmeiras beat São Paulo 2-0 on Saturday to retake the Brasileirão lead, leaving Flamengo’s meeting with Corinthians on Sunday pivotal.

According to Coluna Do Fla, defender Bruno Fuchs admitted he would be backing the Itaquera side, while stressing Palmeiras must focus on their own work and noting he had not initially realised the fixture.

Abel Ferreira’s team won at the Nubank Parque, with the goals coming from Murilo and Vitor Roque in the clássico.

Palmeiras are on 56 points, with Flamengo second on 54. To reclaim first place, Flamengo must beat Corinthians on Sunday.

Fuchs also accepted the outcome is beyond Palmeiras’ control. Flamengo face Corinthians at 17:30 Brasília time at the Maracanã in the 27th round.
