- LATEST GAMES! Flamengo arrives motivated after the victory over Estudiantes, last Wednesday (20), a result that guaranteed the club in the round of 16 of the Libertadores. On the other side, Palmeiras is going through a scenario of greater pressure. The defeat at home to Cerro Porteño complicated the team’s situation in Group F of the Libertadores, took away the chance of early classification and reduced the chances of advancing at the top of the group.
- CURRENT SITUATION! Palmeiras arrives at the top of the table, with 35 points from 16 matches. Just behind is Flamengo, the current Brazilian champion, with 31 points and one game in hand. If they win in front of their fans, the Rio team will reduce the difference to just one point and will still have a match to play.
