Pedro is Filipe Luís’ ace for Flamengo v Palmeiras in the Brasileirão

Will Pedro start in the Flamengo vs Palmeiras match?

Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (19) to face Palmeiras in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. A standout in the 3–0 win over Botafogo last Thursday (15), Pedro hopes to get another chance among the starters. The number 9 is even seen as a “trump card” for Filipe Luís in the game.

That’s because Palmeiras is the team Pedro has scored against the most while wearing the Flamengo shirt. Alongside Fluminense and Athletico-PR, the striker has found the net against the São Paulo side on seven occasions wearing the Sacred Mantle.

A Flamengo fan since childhood, Pedro joined Flamengo on loan in January 2020. After standing out during that period, Mengão decided to buy the striker from Fiorentina (ITA), spending around R$ 87 million for the Italian club.

Since then, Pedro has established himself as one of the main players in the red-and-black squad. Wearing the Sacred Mantle, the number 9 has 300 matches played, with 151 goals scored and 35 assists provided to teammates.

It’s worth noting that Pedro still hasn’t cemented himself as an undisputed starter under Filipe Luís. However, last Thursday (15), the number 9 was Flamengo’s standout in the 3–0 win over Botafogo, with a goal and an assist. Thus, the striker hopes to get another chance among the starting 11 against Palmeiras.
