Where to watch?

The match will be broadcast on TV Globo and Premiere, but you can also follow all the coverage here on gazetaesportiva.com.

How is São Paulo coming into the match?

The Tricolor comes into the match on a high. The team led by Hernán Crespo has won its last two games, against Bahia and Vasco, teams that are fighting for a spot in the next edition of the Libertadores, which is also São Paulo’s main goal in this final stretch of the season.

For this match, Crespo will not have Alan Franco and Enzo Díaz available. Both received their third yellow card against Vasco and will have to serve an automatic suspension. On the other hand, Luciano and Maik are back and available after missing the last round for the same reason.

How is Flamengo coming into the match?

Runner-up in the Campeonato Brasileiro, one point behind Palmeiras, Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday needing to confirm its favoritism so as not to let its main rival for the title pull away in the standings.

In the last six league matches, Flamengo stumbled in three: drew with Cruzeiro, lost to Bahia, and was also defeated by Fortaleza, who are in the relegation zone. Therefore, beating São Paulo is extremely important for Flamengo’s ambitions in the tournament.

Pedro, Léo Ortiz, and Jorginho, injured, as well as Bruno Henrique and Evertton Araújo, suspended, are out. Everton Cebolinha, Alex Sandro, and Carrascal are back and available for Filipe Luís.

Statistics

Flamengo has the best attack in the Campeonato Brasileiro, with 59 goals scored, and also has the best defense, having conceded only 16 times.

According to sofascore, the Rubro-Negro team creates the most clear goal chances (78), has the highest average possession (62%), completes the most passes (average of 500.9 per match), and has the most shots on target (average of 5.4 per match).

São Paulo, on the other hand, does not stand out in any of these categories in the Campeonato Brasileiro. Struggling with the number of absences throughout the season, coach Hernán Crespo has been forced to adapt his team round after round to fill the gaps left in the squad due to physical problems.
