Palmeiras v Cruzeiro, time and TV details; Flamengo hope for a slip-up | OneFootball

Flamengo face Atlhetico-PR on Sunday (17) in the 14th round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo only take the field at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (17), for the 15th round of the Brasileirão, but the red-and-black fans should keep a close eye on the 9 p.m. (Brasília time) clash this Saturday (16). At Allianz Parque, Palmeiras and Cruzeiro face off in a match that directly impacts the Most Beloved in the standings.

That is because, if the São Paulo side slip up at home, Mengão will have the chance to close in on the top of the competition with a win over Athletico-PR in Curitiba. For fans who want to root against their rival or simply keep track of the battle at the top, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match live.

What is Palmeiras’ probable lineup?

Carlos Miguel, Giay, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo and Jefté; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira (Lucas Evangelista), Allan and Arias; Sosa and Flaco López.

Palmeiras will have Abel Ferreira back on the touchline, as he has already served his suspension. In addition, the team keeps its recent core, but will be without Arthur, who is out with thigh edema. Meanwhile, Vitor Roque and Joaquín Piquerez remain unavailable.

Meanwhile, Flamengo are watching closely. After all, Palmeiras have 34 points, while Fla have 30 with a game in hand. So, if the São Paulo side stumble, Rubro-Negro can cut the gap and really turn up the pressure in the title race.

And Flamengo?

Later on, starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (16), Flamengo face Grêmio in Porto Alegre. In other words, Mengão will take the field already knowing the result of their rival’s match. Coluna do Fla, of course, will bring all the details of the match.
