Brasileirão: will Flamengo v Cruzeiro be shown on Globo? | OneFootball

Flamengo vs Cruzeiro match takes place at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (02)

Flamengo faces Cruzeiro on the night of this Thursday (02), in a match valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game will take place at Maracanã, with no broadcast on free-to-air TV, that is, on Rede Globo.

However, the Flamengo vs Cruzeiro match will be broadcast live on SporTV, on the subscription channel, as well as on Premiere, through pay-per-view. Finally, Coluna do Fla TV, on YouTube, will cover all the pre- and post-match details, such as Filipe Luís’ press conference.

How is Flamengo coming into the match?

To face Cruzeiro, Filipe Luís has only one confirmed absence. Thus, Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot, will not be available for Flamengo this Thursday (02).

In addition to the absences, Flamengo has four players at risk of suspension with two yellow cards each. They are: Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Allan, and Arrascaeta. Therefore, if these players receive a third yellow card against Cruzeiro, they will miss the 27th round match against Bahia.

What does the Brasileirão table look like?

Currently, Flamengo remains at the top of the Brasileirão. That’s because the Most Beloved has 54 points. Palmeiras, which beat Vasco in the 26th round, is in second place with 52. Finally, Cruzeiro, who faces Fla, is in third with 50.

It’s no wonder that the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro is considered a ‘six-pointer’. That’s because, although the direct clash will not change the leadership of the Brasileirão, it will determine how much of an advantage Rubro-Negro can open up.
