The CBF confirmed, on Friday night (1), the date and time of the clash against Chapecoense for the final round of the competition before the break for the World Cup.

Run-up to the break

Until the pause for the World Cup at the end of May, there are five rounds left — the championship will be interrupted after the 18th round, one before the end of the first half of the season.

During this period, Palmeiras and Flamengo will have different paths. The São Paulo team will face opponents from the lower part of the table, such as Santos, Remo and Chapecoense, as well as Cruzeiro and Flamengo themselves.

Meanwhile, the Rubro-Negro will have a tougher stretch, with clashes against top teams such as Grêmio, Athletico and Palmeiras themselves, in addition to Vasco.
