Flamengo wrap up preparations to face Bragantino in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

This Friday, at Ninho do Urubu, Flamengo wrapped up preparations to face Red Bull Bragantino, in a match valid for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls on Saturday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro.

For the match, coach Filipe Luis will not be able to count on Pulgar and Saúl, who are suspended due to an excess of yellow cards. In addition, Bruno Henrique, who left the field in the last game with pain in his left thigh, is a doubt for the Rubro-Negro attack and may give way to Plata. On the other hand, De La Cruz is expected to return to the squad after missing two rounds.

In the Brasileirão, Flamengo is the leader, with 71 points – two more than Palmeiras, who are in second place. In the last match, they lost to Fluminense by 2-0 and missed the chance to pull ahead at the top. Now, the team from Rio is looking to get back to winning ways to stay in the lead.

Next Saturday, Flamengo and Palmeiras face each other in the final of the Libertadores, at 6 p.m., at Estadio Monumental, in Lima. But before that, the Rubro-Negro will visit Atlético-MG at Arena MRV for the Brazilian Championship, likely with a mixed squad, with an eye on the continental competition’s final.
