Brasileirão: Crucial round in Flamengo v Palmeiras title race | OneFootball

Palmeiras and Flamengo are the top teams in the Brasileirão, respectively

Flamengo continues to chase Palmeiras in the quest to regain the lead in the Brasileirão. This Wednesday (05), the Mengão could temporarily take the top spot if they defeat São Paulo.

However, a loss to São Paulo could mean the end of the dream for the Brazilian title. At least that's what Eric Faria, a journalist from Grupo Globo, said.

What did Eric Faria say?

— I have an opinion that might be controversial, but I think that in the next round, if Palmeiras beats Santos and Flamengo loses to São Paulo, I think Flamengo won't catch up (to the lead) anymore -, he said before concluding:

— Palmeiras would open up a 4-point lead, with 2 more victories. It would actually be 5 points. They would need 2 slip-ups from Palmeiras in 7 games. I find it unlikely that Palmeiras will lose 2 games until the end of the championship. So, it will be a very decisive round -, concluded Eric Faria during the ‘Seleção SporTV’ program.

What is the situation in the Brasileirão?

At the moment, Flamengo remains in second place in the Brazilian Championship, with 64 points. Meanwhile, Filipe Luís's team has 19 wins, seven draws, and four losses.

On the other hand, Palmeiras is the leader of the Brasileirão with 65 points. So far, Abel Ferreira's team has 20 wins, five draws, and five losses. Therefore, the race for the Brazilian Championship title promises to remain open until the last round.

Are Flamengo and Palmeiras competing for another title?

Besides the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo and Palmeiras are competing for another title in the 2025 season: the Libertadores. The teams will face each other in the tournament final on November 29, at 6 PM (Brasília time) in Lima, Peru. Thus, one of the teams will become the Brazilian club with the most titles in the competition.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Looking to regain the lead in the Brasileirão, Flamengo will take the field this Wednesday (05) to face São Paulo. Additionally, the match will take place at Vila Belmiro at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

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