So far, Flamengo remains in second place in the Brazilian Championship, with 64 points earned. In this period, Filipe Luís’s team has 19 wins, seven draws, and four losses. On the other hand, São Paulo is in eighth place, with 44 points.

When do Flamengo and São Paulo face each other?

Without Pedro and Bruno Henrique, Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (05) to face São Paulo. The match will take place at Vila Belmiro, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. São Paulo match.
