Palmeiras v Cruzeiro, kick-off time and TV info; Flamengo hope | OneFootball

Flamengo face Athletico-PR on Sunday (17) in the 14th round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo only take the field at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (17), in the 15th round of the Brasileirão, but Rubro-Negro fans should keep a close eye on Saturday’s (16) 9 PM (Brasília time) clash. At Allianz Parque, Palmeiras and Cruzeiro face off in a match that directly impacts the Most Beloved in the standings.

That’s because if the São Paulo side slip up at home, Mengão will have the chance to close in on the top of the table with a win over Athletico-PR in Curitiba. For fans who want to root against their rival or simply keep track of the battle for first place, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match live.

What is Palmeiras’ likely lineup?

Carlos Miguel, Giay, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo and Jefté; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira (Lucas Evangelista), Allan and Arias; Sosa and Flaco López.

Palmeiras will have Abel Ferreira back on the touchline, as he has already served his suspension. In addition, the team keeps its recent core, but will be without Arthur, who is out with thigh edema. Vitor Roque and Joaquín Piquerez also remain unavailable.

Meanwhile, Flamengo are watching closely. After all, Palmeiras have 34 points, while Fla have 30 with a game in hand. So, if the São Paulo side stumble, the Rubro-Negro can cut the gap and really turn up the pressure in the title race.

And Flamengo?

Later on, starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (16), Flamengo face Grêmio in Porto Alegre. In other words, Mengão will take the field already knowing the result of their rival’s match. Coluna do Fla, of course, will bring all the details of the match.
