Flemish e Sport face each other this Saturday, the 1st, starting at 9pm (Brasília time), in a duel for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. The match takes place at Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).
Flamengo is vice-leader, with 61 points, one behind Palmeiras, and arrives at Maracanã after confirming their place in the Libertadores final. The team is trying to react after the previous stumble in the Brasileirão and will continue to follow its São Paulo rival at the top. Filipe Luís must preserve some names given the recent wear and tear, while Pedro and Cebolinha remain out due to injury.
Bottom with 17 points, Sport hasn’t won in seven games, has just a 0.09% chance of staying and is going through a week of change with the departure of Daniel Paulista. Interim César Lucena leads the team, without Matheusinho, and Zé Lucas, called up for the under-17 team, is suspended. Rivera and Lucas Lima return, but Thyere is low on defense.
