Palmeiras vs Flamengo: Where to watch live?

How is Palmeiras arriving for the match?

Palmeiras comes into the Libertadores final during a period of instability, experiencing their worst streak of the season. Abel Ferreira's team has gone five games without a win, with two draws and three losses, the last of which was a 3-2 comeback defeat to Grêmio.

During this period, Verdão endured a goal drought and scored only three times. Striker Flaco López, the season's top scorer, has gone nine games without scoring. This poor run caused Verdão to lose the lead and fall behind in the race for the Brazilian league title. Currently, the team sits in second place nationally, with 70 points.

How is Flamengo arriving for the match?

Flamengo, on the other hand, is in a different situation, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five games. The team led by Filipe Luís almost secured the Brasileirão title before the continental final. In the last round, they needed a win but only managed a draw against Atlético-MG.

As a result, Rubro-Negro holds a four-point lead at the top of the Brazilian Championship. With 74 points and two games remaining, they are just one victory away from clinching the trophy.

Palmeiras vs Flamengo in finals

Palmeiras and Flamengo are contesting a championship final for the fifth time in history. Rubro-Negro won the first two (Copa Mercosul 1999 and Supercopa do Brasil 2021), while Alviverde won the two most recent (Libertadores 2021 and Supercopa do Brasil 2023).

Including friendly tournaments, Verdão has two more titles (Taça dos Campeões RJ-SP 1942 and Taça Maria Quitéria 1997) and Rubro-Negro has one (Torneio Leonino Caiado 1975), plus one shared title (draw in the Taça dos Campeões RJ-SP 1944).

Probable lineups

For the match, coach Abel Ferreira should not have major headaches. During the week, he indicated what the starting lineup should be. The likely starting eleven joined the squad in Porto Alegre hours before the game against Grêmio, on Tuesday.

Of these, only Andreas Pereira, Allan, and Piquerez started on the bench, and only the latter did not get minutes. The tendency is for all three to start. In midfield and attack, there is still some doubt, with the possibility of Felipe Anderson or Ramón Sosa starting.

Verdão remains without Lucas Evangelista (right thigh surgery) and Paulinho (right leg surgery). Weverton, recovering from a fracture in his right hand, is doubtful. The trio traveled to Lima with the rest of the squad but will not be available to the coach.

On Flamengo's side, coach Filipe Luís has some doubts. Defender Léo Ortiz, who recovered from a right ankle strain, has been cleared by the medical staff and may return. If he does not start, Danilo will play.

In attack, without Pedro, who is recovering from a left thigh muscle injury, the coach still has an open spot. Gonzalo Plata, who was sent off in the goalless draw with Racing in the semifinal second leg, is suspended. Samuel Lino, Everton Cebolinha, and Luiz Araújo are competing for the final spot in the team.
