What does Flamengo need to become champion?

A victory against Ceará at Maracanã on Wednesday (03), or against Mirassol on Sunday (07), guarantees the title to Flamengo. This is because the Most Beloved would reach 78 points, meaning they could not be caught by Palmeiras or Cruzeiro.

2nd scenario: Flamengo champion with two draws

If they draw both matches, Flamengo reaches 77 points. Thus, even if Palmeiras wins against Atlético-MG and Ceará, they would only reach 76 points. On the other hand, Cruzeiro, even winning both games, would have 75 points and also would not surpass the leader.

3rd scenario: Flamengo champion with one draw and one loss

With a five-point lead over Palmeiras and six over Cruzeiro, Flamengo can still be champion by adding just one point in the two games. However, this scenario depends on the rivals' results. They are:

Palmeiras cannot win both remaining matches;
Cruzeiro also cannot win both remaining games;
However, if Palmeiras draws or loses any of the games, Flamengo maintains enough advantage to secure the title with 76 points.

4th scenario: Flamengo loses both games but can still be champion

Even in the case of two losses, Flamengo still has a chance at the title. However, the necessary combination would be:

Palmeiras cannot earn more than four points, meaning one win and one draw;
Cruzeiro can even win both games but won't surpass Flamengo due to the number of victories;
If Palmeiras earns up to three points and Cruzeiro accumulates a maximum of four, Fla finishes in the lead even without scoring in the last two rounds.

What are Mengão's next matches?

Flamengo and Ceará will play the 37th round of the Brasileirão starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (03). Then, on Sunday (07), the Most Beloved faces Mirassol at Campos Maia, in São Paulo, at 4 PM (Brasília time).

It is worth noting that if Flamengo wins against Ceará on Wednesday (03) and becomes champion, the CBF will change the game against Mirassol from Sunday (07) to Saturday (06). This is because the Brazilian entity wants to give an extra day of rest and/or preparation for Fla to compete in the World Cup starting December 10.
