How is Flamengo preparing for the match?

Flamengo is experiencing a period of fluctuation this season. The Carioca Rubro-Negro has recorded two wins, one draw, and suffered two losses in the last five matches across all competitions. Despite this, the team secured a spot in the Libertadores semifinals and continues to chase the leader Palmeiras in the Brazilian league.

The team led by coach Filipe Luís regained some confidence with the victory in the derby last Wednesday. The Gávea team defeated Botafogo 3-0 at Nilton Santos, maintaining a three-point gap from Palmeiras.

In the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo holds the second place, with 58 points, trailing only Verdão, which has 61 points.

How is Palmeiras preparing for the match?

Palmeiras, on the other hand, is going through one of its best moments of the season. After losing to Bahia, the Alviverde embarked on a streak of four consecutive victories, defeating Vasco, São Paulo, Juventude, and Red Bull Bragantino – the last two with thrashings.

Extending the timeframe, Verdão's numbers are even better. In the last 15 matches across all tournaments, the Alviverde team suffered only one defeat, achieving 12 victories and two draws. Coach Abel Ferreira has found new solutions and is getting the best out of his team.

Besides leading the Brazilian Championship, Palmeiras is also confidently heading to the Libertadores semifinals, where they will face Ecuador's LDU.

Probable lineups

Flamengo is certain to have two reinforcements for the match against Palmeiras. Defender Danilo and forward Wallace Yan may return to the squad after serving suspensions. De la Cruz, who missed the derby due to fatigue, and Allan, recovered from plantar fasciitis, should also return.

On the other hand, coach Filipe Luís has the absence of Everton Cebolinha, who suffered a hip injury. Saul (ankle pain) is initially listed as doubtful. However, it is likely that the midfielder will not be fit to play.

Despite the two absences, Filipe Luís is expected to field Flamengo with the best available. Pulgar is likely to return to the starting lineup and pair with Jorginho, as well as Carrascal, who started on the bench against Botafogo. Meanwhile, on the right flank, Varela may start.

On the other side, Palmeiras has a last-minute absence. Goalkeeper Weverton suffered a fracture in his right hand and will miss the match. Thus, Marcelo Lomba or Carlos Miguel will compete for the spot in the Alviverde goal. Paulinho (right leg surgery) and Evangelista (right thigh surgery) are also unavailable.

In contrast, Verdão will have the reinforcement of captain Gustavo Gómez, back after serving the Paraguayan national team during the FIFA date. Right-back Khellven, recovered from a foot injury, should also be available, but may not start the game.
