Could Palmeiras overtake Flamengo in the Brasileirão? Possible scenarios | OneFootball

Flamengo, with 47 points, is leading the Brazilian Championship

After Flamengo's 1-1 draw with Grêmio this Sunday (31), the Rubro-Negro maintained the lead, now with 47 points. Given the score, teams like Palmeiras and Cruzeiro are eyeing the top of the table. However, even with the leader's stumble, no one can surpass the Most Beloved this round.

This is because Cruzeiro has already beaten São Paulo 1-0 last Saturday (30) and reached 44 points, which is lower than Flamengo. Palmeiras is preparing to face Corinthians, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday. The maximum score that the green club can reach this round is 45, which would be enough to assume the vice-leadership, but insufficient to surpass the red-black leader.

What is the scenario of this round?

How was Flamengo's game?

Flamengo and Grêmio drew 1-1, at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The goal of the Rubro-Negro was from Arrascaeta, after a pass from Pedro. However, the Gremistas tied with a penalty goal scored by goalkeeper Thiago Volpi.

What is Flamengo's next game?

In this scenario, Flamengo will defend the leadership of the Brasileirão against Juventude, for the 23rd round, at Alfredo Jaconi. A victory for the red-black would give Filipe Luís's team 50 points.
