How this Brasileirão round affects Flamengo, top and bottom of the table | OneFootball

According to Coluna Do Fla, Palmeiras are on 52 points, Flamengo 51 and Athletico-PR 45, leaving the Rubro-Negro looking up and down the table this round. Only five points split Flamengo and the Furacão, so the margin could tighten.

If Athletico-PR beat Cruzeiro at the Mineirão this Sunday from 16:00 Brasília time, the gap to Flamengo would be cut to two points, increasing pressure in the G-4 race. Leonardo Jardim’s team will watch that one closely.

Flamengo visit Remo at the Mangueirão this Sunday from 16:00 Brasília time, having travelled with the named squad. New signings Joaquín Freitas and Anthony Valencia are included for potential debuts, while De La Cruz and Vitão return from injury.

The match will be on Globo on free-to-air TV and on Premiere via pay-per-view, with GE TV also streaming on YouTube.

Leaders Palmeiras face Botafogo at the Engenhão from 18:30 Brasília time. Record shows it on free-to-air, CazéTV streams on YouTube and Premiere also carries the game.

For Flamengo to go top, they must beat Remo and rely on Palmeiras dropping points later. A draw or defeat for the São Paulo side would hand Leonardo Jardim’s men first place.

The Remo fixture comes days before Flamengo start their Libertadores quarter-final away to Independiente del Valle on Thursday 10 from 21:30 Brasília time in Ecuador. The quick turnaround underlines the need to manage workloads while chasing the league lead.
