Flamengo set target to cut Palmeiras' lead in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

What is Flamengo’s situation in the Brasileirão?

With the World Cup over, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Wednesday (22) to face Chapecoense in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The match also starts an important stretch for the Rubro-Negro, with the focus on closing the gap to league leaders Palmeiras.

According to information from ‘GE’, Flamengo sees the next four rounds of the Brasileirão as ‘key matches’ in the chase for Palmeiras. During this period, Mengão will face Chapecoense, São Paulo, Internacional, and Vitória, while the green-and-white side will take on Coritiba, Atlético-MG, Vitória, and Internacional.

With that in mind, Flamengo’s goal is to cut at least four points from Palmeiras’ seven-point lead. That is because, with one game in hand over their rival, the Rubro-Negro would then depend only on itself to level the points at the top of the Brasileirão table.

Does Flamengo have an advantage over Palmeiras?

It is worth noting that Flamengo does have an advantage over Palmeiras in the next four rounds of the Brasileirão. That is because the Rubro-Negro will be able to focus only on the Brazilian Championship, since the team has already been eliminated from the Copa do Brasil.

On the other hand, between the matches against Vitória and Internacional, Palmeiras will have two clashes with Fortaleza in the Copa do Brasil round of 16. As a result, coach Abel Ferreira will need to manage the squad with both competitions in mind.

What is Flamengo’s situation in the Brasileirão?

At the moment, Flamengo sits second in the Brasileirão table with 34 points. In 17 matches, the Rubro-Negro has recorded ten wins, four draws, and three losses. League leaders Palmeiras have 41 points, but from 18 matches played.

What are the details of the Flamengo vs. Chapecoense match?
