Flamengo v Palmeiras: Davi Lacerda to referee at the Maracanã | OneFootball

The Brazilian Football Confederation confirmed that Davi de Oliveira Lacerda, from Espírito Santo, will take charge of Flamengo v Palmeiras at the Maracanã on Saturday at 21:00.

Bruno Raphael Pires (GO) and Bruno Boschilia (PR) are the assistants. Paulo Robero Alves Júnior is the fourth official, and VAR will be led by Caio Max Augusto Vieira (GO).

It is among the most anticipated fixtures of the first half, a direct meeting between leaders and second place. Palmeiras top the table on 35 points, four ahead of Flamengo, who have one game in hand.

Palmeiras arrive amid a patchy run. They have drawn three straight in the league and lost to Cerro Porteño in the Libertadores, surrendering top spot in Group F. They advanced in the Copa do Brasil without fuss.

Flamengo are already through to the Libertadores last 16, but exited the Copa do Brasil early in the fifth round to Vitória. In the league, they have one win and two draws across their past three matches.
