Flamengo is currently leading the Campeonato Brasileiro with 57 points, one point ahead of Palmeiras. Bragantino, on the other hand, is in the 9th position with 35 points and aims to secure a spot in the Conmebol Libertadores. This is the last round before the FIFA date, which could impact the teams' standings.
The match will be broadcast on Premiere and Sportv. Flamengo has several players suspended or injured, including Pulgar, Samuel Lino, Lucas Paquetá, and Evertton Araújo. Bragantino, however, has four players returning from suspension, including Alix Vinícius, Vanderlan, Rodriguinho, and Eduardo Sasha.
Flamengo's coach, Leonardo Jardim, has problems assembling the team due to the high number of suspensions. This could lead to the inclusion of Saúl in the starting lineup, replacing Pulgar. Another possible change is Bruno Henrique taking Samuel Lino's place on the left side. Lucas Paquetá is also out of the game.
Bragantino, on the other hand, has four players returning from suspension, including Alix Vinícius, Vanderlan, Rodriguinho, and Eduardo Sasha. Alix Vinícius and Rodriguinho are the most likely to be included in the starting lineup. Vanderlan could replace Juninho Capixaba, who is suspended, but Cauê could also be an option.
The match will be refereed by Rodrigo Jose Pereira de Lima, with Bruno Boschilia and Joverton Wesley De Souza Lima as assistant referees.
