Flamengo aim to reclaim Brasileirão lead as Corinthians visit Maracanã | OneFootball

The 27th round of the Brasileirão continues on Sunday 13, with Flamengo hosting Corinthians as they look to reclaim first place. Mirassol also face Vitória in São Paulo.

Mirassol v Vitória kicks off at 16:00 at the Maião, a key contest in the relegation scrap, before Flamengo v Corinthians at 17:30 at the Maracanã, all times Brasília time. According to Coluna Do Fla, Globo, Premiere and GE TV will broadcast Flamengo v Corinthians.

Flamengo are second on 54 points from 26 matches, with 16 wins, six draws and four defeats. Palmeiras returned to the summit after beating São Paulo on Saturday 12, so a home win would put Flamengo back on top.

With limited recovery after Thursday 10, when Flamengo beat Independiente del Valle 2-0 in the Libertadores quarter-final first leg, Leonardo Jardim is likely to rest players.

Fernando Diniz is expected to field a largely rotated Corinthians side, with focus on Wednesday 16’s Libertadores quarter-final return against Estudiantes. In the league they are 13th on 32 points from 26 games, eight wins, eight draws and 10 defeats.
