Ex-Flamengo star: Title decider, tips Filipe Luís v Palmeiras | OneFootball

Léo Moura asks Filipe Luís to repeat the lineup with Pedro in Flamengo’s attack

Flamengo and Palmeiras are separated by only three points at the top of the Brasileirão table. Thus, former player Léo Moura stated that the national title will be decided this Sunday (19), in the direct clash that will take place at Maracanã.

— Sunday’s game, for me, will be the title decider, because it wouldn’t have mattered if Flamengo hadn’t won today’s match (Wednesday). Palmeiras scored five there. I was watching Léo (Ortiz)’s interview here and it’s true: these are decisive games,” said Léo Moura during a broadcast on Cazé TV, and he added:

— If it’s with this team from today (Wednesday), the result could be positive at Maracanã,” warned the former Flamengo full-back. Thus, Léo Moura went on to say that he is strongly rooting for the team, which he played for in 519 matches, to win the Brasileirão.

What is Léo Moura talking about?

While Flamengo was playing against Botafogo at Engenhão on Wednesday (15), Palmeiras was wrapping up a 5-1 thrashing of Red Bull Bragantino. The result brought the São Paulo team to 61 points.

The gap would have been large for Flamengo, but Pedro put on a real show and was involved in two of the three goals scored by the Flamengo team. Thus, Filipe Luís’s men reached 58 points to stay in the race.

Is it possible for the coach to repeat the same lineup?

Filipe Luís chose Pedro instead of Bruno Henrique, which greatly pleased Léo Moura and a large part of the Flamengo fans. As a result, the likelihood is that the coach will repeat the starting lineup, since no player has been suspended or injured.

What time will Flamengo vs Palmeiras take place?

With Pedro available for the match with a final-like atmosphere, Flamengo will face Palmeiras in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 4pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (19), at Maracanã.
