Flamengo aim to stay top of Brasileirão at Maracanã against Corinthians | OneFootball

Flamengo host Corinthians at the Maracanã on Sunday at 17:30 Brasília time in the 27th round, aiming to stay top of the Brasileirão. According to Coluna Do Fla, the hosts arrive buoyed by Thursday’s Libertadores quarter-final against Independiente del Valle.

Leonardo Jardim has almost a full squad, with only midfielder Evertton Araújo sidelined. Given recent trips to Belém and high-altitude Quito, he is likely to rotate, with Léo Pereira and Arrascaeta among those who could be rested and bench options pushing to start.

Fernando Diniz must contend with numerous absences for Corinthians. Memphis Depay is out due to load management, Allan is unavailable because the club did not pay the contractual fee to face Flamengo, and Gustavo Henrique, André, Carrillo, André Ramalho, Yuri Alberto, Zakaria Labyad and Kayke are in the medical department.

The match will be broadcast nationwide on Globo with Luís Roberto on commentary, on Premiere with Paulo Andrade, and on GETV with Jorge Iggor. Fans therefore have several ways to follow every moment.

Flamengo have 54 points from 26 matches, 16 wins, six draws and four defeats. Corinthians sit 12th on 32 points from 26, eight wins, eight draws and 10 defeats, a meeting of title contenders and a mid-table side, both with an eye on the Libertadores.
