How Fortaleza comes into the match

The team from Ceará has only 24 points and occupies the second-to-last position in the table. Seriously threatened with relegation to the Second Division, Leão do Pici is doing the math to escape the drop.

For Saturday's match, coach Martín Palermo still has many problems assembling the team. Lucas Crispim, Matheus Pereira, João Ricardo, Alanzinho, and Marcelo Benevenuto remain unavailable, while Lucero and Kusevic are suspended. On the other hand, forwards Deyverson and Bareiro return to the squad.

How Flamengo comes into the match

With 61 points, the Rubro-Negro shares the lead with Palmeiras, who are ahead due to having one more victory. With the best attack and the least beaten defense in the competition, Filipe Luis's team is one of the main contenders for the 2025 title.

The team from Rio is also focused on the decisive match for a spot in the Libertadores final, next Wednesday, in Argentina, against Racing. In the first leg at Maracanã, Mengão won 1-0, thanks to a goal by Carrascal.

Filipe Luis's list of absences includes Erick Pulgar and Carrascal, suspended, and Cebolinha and Pedro, injured. Meanwhile, Léo Ortiz, who is recovering from an ankle strain, Alex Sandro, on load management, and De la Cruz, suffering from a virus, all stayed in Rio de Janeiro.
