At the moment, Flamengo sit ninth, with four wins, two draws, and three losses — 14 points in total. If they win, depending on goal difference, the Rubro-Negro could climb as high as fourth place. Palmeiras, meanwhile, are unbeaten with 21 points, from six wins and three draws.

WHAT ARE THE KEY ABSENCES?

For the match against Palmeiras, Flamengo will have some important absences. Midfielder Luiz Felipe is in Colombia, called up by the senior team, which faces Independiente Medellín (COL) in the Libertadores. Daniel Sales and Douglas Telles were also left out of coach Bruno Pivetti’s squad list.

In addition, Ryan Roberto remains in a ‘conflict’ with the board, as he has still not accepted the contract renewal offered by the club. In fact, the Most Beloved has accepted an offer from Lille (FRA) for the youngster.

A NIGHT OF REUNION?

The match will mark a reunion. Scorer of Flamengo’s title-winning goal at the 2024 Under-20 Club World Cup, Felipe Teresa is now with Palmeiras. The forward, who was eventually released by Mengão, scored the goal that secured the title against Olympiacos (GRE) at the Maracanã, under Filipe Luís.
