The Rio team remains in the fight for the Brasileirão 2025 title. Fortaleza is in the fight on the other side, against relegation.

Flamengo lineup against Fortaleza
In the midst of the Libertadores semifinal matches, coach Filipe Luis lost center forward Pedro, with a fracture in his right forearm. Striker Everton Cebolinha remains in the medical department, and defender Léo Ortiz should not be used.
In the game against Racing, the defender was on the bench. Danilo took over the position. Leo Ortiz suffered a strained ligament in his left ankle during the match against Palmeiras, last Sunday. He left Maracanã on crutches straight to the hospital, where he underwent tests and the injury was confirmed. The player made a quick recovery and appeared as an option on the bench in the Libertadores game, but should still remain on the bench.
Probable Flamengo lineup: Rossi; Emerson Royal (Varela), Danilo, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (Alex Sandro); Pulgar (Saúl), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Carrascal and Bruno Henrique. Technical: Filipe Luís.
