Will Flamengo v São Paulo be on Globo? | OneFootball

Flamengo takes the field for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship

Flamengo’s quest for the top spot in the Brasileirão continues this Sunday (26), when they face São Paulo in the 20th round. The clash also marks Rubro-Negro’s return to the Maracanã after the break for the World Cup.

The match kicks off at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro. The game will be broadcast exclusively on Premiere, via pay-per-view. Therefore, the match will not be shown on free-to-air channels such as Rede Globo.

What about Coluna do Fla?

Coluna do Fla, however, will provide full coverage of the match on YouTube and its other social media platforms. On the website, fans can also follow Mengão’s every move daily, with news, interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and everything involving the Most Beloved.

In addition, Coluna do Fla’s reporting team will be in Rio de Janeiro with on-site coverage. Reporter Rodrigo Lima will send details of the match directly from the Maracanã to capture the key moments and the atmosphere inside the stadium.

What is Flamengo’s situation in the table and how did preparation for the match go?

As mentioned, the Rubro-Negro side will play its first official match at the Maracanã after the midseason break and international friendlies. The last game at the Sacred Temple took place on May 30, when the club thrashed Coritiba 3-0 in the Brazilian Championship.

Flamengo currently sits second in the Brasileirão with 39 points and is looking for a win to stay close behind leader Palmeiras, which has 43. Mengo, however, has one game in hand compared to the green-and-white side.

Meanwhile, São Paulo keeps slipping down the table. At the moment, the team from São Paulo has 25 points and sits in 12th place in the tournament. Dorival Júnior’s men are only four points above Vasco, the first team in the relegation zone.

Who will Flamengo be without?

On the other hand, Flamengo will be without Jorge Carrascal, who will serve the last match of his suspension handed down by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). Lucas Paquetá, Luiz Araújo, and Gonzalo Plata are out injured.

Does Flamengo have any reinforcements for the Flamengo vs. São Paulo match?

Despite the absences, coach Leonardo Jardim welcomes back Léo Ortiz. During the midseason break, the No. 3 even traveled with the squad to Portugal, but did not play because of injury.

Now that his recovery period is over, Léo Ortiz returns to the matchday squad and is expected to start as an option on the bench. De La Cruz also returns after being rested for the clash against Chapecoense because of the synthetic pitch at Arena Condá.

What are the probable lineups for Flamengo and São Paulo?

Flamengo: Rossi; Varela, Vitão, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Erick Pulgar, Jorginho and Lorran (De La Cruz); Samuel Lino, Bruno Henrique and Pedro. Coach: Leonardo Jardim.

São Paulo: Rafael; Lucas Ramon, Arboleda, Sabino and Wendell; Pablo Maia, Bobadilla and Marcos Antônio; Artur, Luciano and Calleri. Coach: Dorival Júnior.
