Brasileirão today: Flamengo hope for slip in Palmeiras v Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Four Matches Close Out the 30th Round of the Brasileirão This Sunday (26)

Flamengo lost to Fortaleza on Saturday (25), but one match this Sunday (26) is crucial for keeping alive the dream of a ninth Brasileirão title for Brasileirão. At Allianz Parque, Palmeiras hosts Cruzeiro at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

After all, Palmeiras and Flamengo are at the top of the table with 61 points each. Therefore, a slip by Abel Ferreira’s team is crucial for Flamengo’s ambitions in the competition. In addition, three other matches will shake up this Sunday (26) in the Brasileirão.

WHAT ARE THIS SUNDAY'S (26) MATCHES IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Botafogo vs Santos – 4:00 p.m., Engenhão Grêmio vs Juventude – 4:00 p.m., Arena do Grêmio Bragantino vs Vasco – 6:30 p.m., Cícero de Souza Marques Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro – 8:30 p.m., Allianz Parque

At Engenhão, Botafogo, fighting for a spot in the G-6 of the Brasileirão, faces desperate Santos, who have points typical of a relegation zone team. However, the São Paulo side is out of the drop zone due to tiebreaker criteria. In other words, it’s a ‘do-or-die’ match for both teams.

Meanwhile, in Rio Grande do Sul, Grêmio tries to bid farewell to the relegation battle against a team that is practically guaranteed to play in Série B in 2026: Juventude. Mano Menezes’ team has 36 points, five above the relegation zone, while the team from Caxias do Sul is second to last, with 26.

Finally, Vasco, who are enjoying a great run and dreaming of the G-6, face Bragantino, who are in a similar situation to Grêmio. It’s worth noting that if Flamengo or Palmeiras win the Libertadores, the six spots become seven for the continental tournament, which could increase the hopes of Mengão’s frequent rival.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY AGAIN IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Flamengo only plays again in the Brasileirão next Saturday (01), against bottom-placed Sport, at Maracanã. The match kicks off at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time). Before that, however, the Most Beloved is focused only on the Libertadores semifinal, against Racing (ARG), away from home, in a match scheduled for Wednesday (29).
