Flamengo are without four players. Alex Sandro has calf pain, Vitão has a muscle injury, De La Cruz is nursing a left thigh problem, and Léo Pereira is being protected due to muscular fatigue.

Cruzeiro are prioritising the Copa do Brasil, with a quarter-final against Atlético-MG on Tuesday 25, so some players are being rested and the XI is mixed. Jonathan Jesus is suspended, and Gabriel Pec and Sinisterra are injured.

Amazon Prime will stream the match exclusively. Flamengo have 45 points, three behind Palmeiras on 48, and the leaders have played one game more, so Leonardo Jardim’s side can go top this round.
