Fluminense win could knock Flamengo off top spot in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Winning Fla-Flu is always good, but today's victory will have an even more special flavor. Besides helping Fluminense in the fight for a spot in the Libertadores, the result could knock Flamengo out of the lead in the Brazilian Championship.

At the moment, the Rubro-Negro has 71 points, three more than second-place Palmeiras. If they lose the classic, Flamengo could be overtaken this round if Alviverde beats Vitória at home. The teams would be tied in points, but the São Paulo team would have the advantage due to having more victories.

Fluminense and Flamengo face each other this Wednesday (19th), at 9:30 PM, at Maracanã, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão. The game will have exclusive broadcast by Premiere, Globo's pay-per-view service.
