What Flamengo need to go top of the Brasileirão in round 26 | OneFootball

Flamengo could move top of the Brasileirão on Sunday if they beat Remo and Palmeiras drop points.

Flamengo are on 51 points, one behind leaders Palmeiras on 52. Flamengo visit Mangueirão in Belém at 16:00 Brasília time, while Palmeiras play Botafogo at Nilton Santos at 18:30. According to Coluna Do Fla, Leonardo Jardim’s team arrive after beating Mirassol, their attack in form though the defence still needs tightening, and Palmeiras under Abel Ferreira remain resilient.

For top spot this round, Flamengo must win in Belém. A Palmeiras draw or defeat would then hand the lead to Leonardo Jardim’s side.

The title rivals still have a head to head to play later in the calendar, which could shape the run in. Flamengo are defending champions and are chasing back to back titles, as well as a 10th league crown.

Globo will show Remo v Flamengo free to air, with Premiere on pay per view and GE TV on YouTube also broadcasting.

Record will broadcast Palmeiras v Botafogo on free to air TV, while CazéTV on YouTube and Premiere will screen it too.
