The fans have opted for Saúl, Carrascal, and Bruno Henrique as starters against Bragantino. This decision will pose a challenge for coach Leonardo Jardim, who will have to adjust his lineup due to the suspensions of Pulgar, Lucas Paquetá, and Samuel Lino, who have accumulated three yellow cards. The trio will miss the match against Bragantino.

The team's performance will be crucial, as Flamengo is currently leading the Brasileirão with a one-point advantage over Palmeiras. After the match against Bragantino, Flamengo will have a 17-day break due to the Data Fifa, returning to play on October 8 against Santos.
