WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— Leonardo Jardim’s Flamengo is coming off a win over Mirassol, with complete control over the opponent. Rubro-Negro has been playing more attractive football, with a sharp and well-synced attack in recent rounds. After a few slip-ups throughout the season, the team seems to have found itself on the pitch. On the other hand, the team is still looking to build a more solid defense and turn more chances into goals. Even so, even a Palmeiras fan recognizes that Rubro-Negro is playing better football than Palmeiras at the moment -, began Coluna do Fla journalist Mônica Alves.

— Palmeiras, on the other hand, remains under the command of Abel Ferreira, a multi-title-winning coach who has already been firmly established in the role for years. The green-and-white team shows the same resilience from the recent titles won under the Portuguese manager. However, Palmeiras also wins many matches the hard way, which could be an interesting advantage for Flamengo in the direct race. Even so, the two teams still have a head-to-head clash pending in this final stretch, and the Brasileirão has everything it needs to remain fiercely contested until the last round -, she concluded.
