Flamengo have more home games, fewer derbies than Palmeiras

Flamengo and Palmeiras have a head-to-head clash on Sunday (19)

The race in the Brazilian Championship is tight. In the meantime, the Flamengo vs. Palmeiras match takes on the air of a ‘提前决赛’ (“early final”), since it will be a direct clash between the leader and runner-up of the Brasileirão.

But what are the remaining fixtures for Flamengo and Palmeiras in the final stretch of the Brasileirão? Does either team have any ‘advantage’? In short, there are still 11 games left in the Brazilian Championship, meaning 33 points are up for grabs in the final rounds.

Are the teams still alive in the Libertadores?

It’s important to note that both teams are playing in the semifinals of the Libertadores. While Palmeiras faces LDU (ECU) on October 23 and 30, Flamengo takes on Racing (ARG) on the 22nd and 29th of the same month.

What’s each team’s situation in the table?

As Filipe Luís aptly put it, at the moment, Flamengo is a ‘chaser’ of Palmeiras in the fight for the Brasileirão title.

Currently, Flamengo sits second in the Brasileirão table with 58 points, three fewer than leaders Palmeiras, who have 61.

A six-point game?

Yes! The Flamengo vs. Palmeiras clash is considered a six-pointer, because if Fla wins the match on Sunday (19), they will be level on points with the São Paulo side.

Even so, Palmeiras would remain top due to the number of wins. However, by beating the Alviverde in the head-to-head, Flamengo would keep themselves very much alive in the title race.

Finally, Flamengo and Palmeiras face off at the Maracanã from 4 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 29th round of the Brasileirão.

The duel between Flamengo and Palmeiras will be broadcast live on Rede Globo, on free-to-air TV, as well as on GETV (YouTube), SporTV (subscription channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view).
