Flamengo and Palmeiras Play Pending Brasileirão Matches for the Tournament Lead

The lead of the Brasileirão could change this Saturday (15th). That’s because Flamengo and Palmeiras will play, respectively, for the 12th and 13th rounds. Thus, two matches will exceptionally take place during the FIFA International Break.

First, Flamengo faces Sport starting at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena de Pernambuco, in São Lourenço da Mata. The Most Beloved could reach 71 points and even officially relegate the Recife team.

Later, Palmeiras will go to Vila Belmiro to face Santos starting at 9 p.m. (Brasília time). The Santos team could breathe a little easier in the fight against relegation if they defeat their rivals and, in doing so, also help Flamengo.

Why are there only two Brasileirão matches?

Currently, the FIFA International Break is taking place, a period when national teams play and club tournaments pause. However, the Brazilian Championship needed to resolve the pending matches from rounds 12 and 13.

Since the national teams are in action, clubs with ‘selectable’ players will play shorthanded in these two matches. Flamengo, for example, is missing seven players who are serving Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, and Ecuador.

Where to watch Flamengo vs Sport?

Prime Video (streaming) will broadcast the match, which takes place in Pernambuco. However, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the pre- and post-match details, live from Maracanã, on YouTube.
