Finally, Alex Sandro is still treating a calf injury, while Erick Pulgar continues his recovery schedule after surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot.

Who is broadcasting the match?

The match between Flamengo and Juventude will be broadcast live by Amazon Prime Video, via streaming. Coluna do Fla TV, on the other hand, will cover post-match details, such as coach Filipe Luís’ press conference, on YouTube.

What is Flamengo’s position in the standings?
