Flamengo: Pressure and Challenges
Flamengo comes into this match with the mission of recovering its good football, after two below-par performances in the Brazilian Championship. Despite having secured qualification for the Copa do Brasil against Palmeiras, the Rio de Janeiro team faces pressure to show a convincing performance. Coach Tite will have Uruguayan midfielder De la Cruz available, who is returning from injury, and could count on Everton Cebolinha in attack, an interesting alternative to replace Luiz Araújo.
Probable Flamengo Lineup:
- Goalkeeper: Rossi
- Defenders: Varela, Fabricio Bruno, Leo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas
- Midfielders: Pulgar, De la Cruz, Gerson, Arrascaeta
- Attackers: Pedro
Palmeiras: Divided Focus and Dilemmas
On the other hand, Palmeiras is going through a time of important decisions. Eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, the team is now focused on the Brasileirão and the Libertadores. However, the absence of coach Abel Ferreira, suspended for an obscene gesture, represents an additional challenge. The São Paulo team could enter the field with some changes, such as the possible entry of Giay and Lázaro, who will replace Mayke and Felipe Anderson, who were injured in the last match.
Probable Palmeiras Lineup:
- Goalkeeper: Weverton
- Defenders: Mayke (or Giay), Vitor Reis (or Murilo), Gustavo Gomez, Caio Paulista
- Midfielders: Anibal Moreno, Richard Rios, Raphael Veiga, Lazaro (or Felipe Anderson)
- Attackers: Rony, Flaco Lopez
Arbitration
The refereeing will be handled by Wilton Pereira Sampaio (GO), one of the most experienced referees in Brazil. He will be assisted by Bruno Raphael Pires (GO) and Eduardo Da Cruz (MS), while the VAR will be under the responsibility of Marco Aurélio Ferreira (MG).
