The Brasileirão leadership is at stake for Flamengo! This Wednesday (05), the Rubro-Negro takes on São Paulo in the 32nd round. For the match, coach Filipe Luís has made some surprising choices in the lineup that will take the field at Vila Belmiro, with kickoff at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST SÃO PAULO?

Starters: Agustín Rossi, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Erick Pulgar, Saúl and Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Samuel Lino and Gonzalo Plata.

Substitutes: Matheus Cunha, Varela, João Victor, Cleiton, Ayrton Lucas, Viña, De La Cruz, Luiz Araújo, Michael, Wallace Yan, Everton Cebolinha and Juninho.

Filipe Luís had to rack his brains to put together the lineup. After all, Bruno Henrique and Evertton Araújo are serving suspensions. In addition, Pedro, Jorginho and Léo Ortiz are recovering from physical issues. Thus, the coach, for example, will continue with Danilo and Léo Pereira in central defense.

WHICH PLAYERS ARE ONE YELLOW AWAY FROM SUSPENSION?

Three players are one yellow card away from suspension and could miss Flamengo's match against Santos on Sunday (09): Léo Pereira, Arrascaeta, and Luiz Araújo. It's important to note that the clash with Neymar's team will be the last before the November FIFA break.

HOW ARE FLAMENGO AND SÃO PAULO DOING IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Flamengo is looking for another win to end Wednesday (05) at the top of the table. That's because Mengão is in second place with 64 points, one behind leaders Palmeiras. However, Abel Ferreira's team faces Santos only on Thursday (06), on the synthetic pitch at Allianz Parque.

On the other hand, São Paulo is fighting for a spot in the G-7 of the Brasileirão, which grants a place in the Copa Libertadores da América. Currently, Hernán Crespo's squad is in eighth place, three points behind seventh-placed Fluminense.
