ALMOST THERE, NATION! Flamengo can become the Brazilian champion for the ninth time next Tuesday (25th), in the 36th round. With Mengão's 3-0 victory over Bragantino, combined with Palmeiras' draw with Fluminense, the Rubro-Negro opened a four-point lead.

On Tuesday (25th), Flamengo will go to Arena MRV to face Atlético-MG. On the same day and also at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), Palmeiras will play against Grêmio in Porto Alegre. If the Most Beloved wins again, and the São Paulo team is defeated, the lead will be seven points, with only six left to play for. Therefore, the ninth title will be secured.

WHAT ARE THE GAME SCENARIOS?

Flamengo will face a shattered Atlético-MG. After all, this Saturday (22nd), the Minas Gerais team played extra time and lost on penalties to Lanús (ARG) in the Copa Sudamericana final. With the Minas Gerais fans upset, there is an expectation of an empty stadium at Arena MRV.

On the other hand, Palmeiras faces Grêmio, which still dreams of a possible G-8 spot for a place in the pre-Libertadores. At the moment, the team from Rio Grande do Sul is two points behind the eighth-place Bragantino. But it's worth noting that Sunday (23rd) will see the completion of the round.

HOW WERE SATURDAY'S (22nd) GAMES?

Despite a goalless first half, Flamengo took off in the second half. With goals from Arrascaeta, Jorginho, and Bruno Henrique, Mengão won 3-0. Meanwhile, at Allianz Parque, Fluminense, even without Thiago Silva and Lucho Acosta, played better, hit the post, and left the field with a 0-0 draw.

WILL THE NINTH TITLE COME ON TUESDAY?

The ball will roll for Atlético-MG vs. Flamengo and Grêmio vs. Palmeiras starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla. So, fans, stay tuned to everything: website, social media, and YouTube.
