Palmeiras and Flamengo, the main winners of Brazilian football in recent years, face off this Saturday (8). At the Allianz Parque, in Sao Paulo, the teams compete at 9 pm for the 14th round of the Brazilian championship. In the standings two points separate the rivals. While the cariocas occupy the third position, with 25 points, the paulistas appear immediately after. Therefore, whoever wins this Saturday’s match leaves their rival behind.
This will be the second meeting between Palmeiras and Flamengo in 2023, after all the teams met for the Supercopa do Brasil in January. On this occasion Verdão, Brazilian champion of the previous year, beat Rubro-Negro, winner of the Copa do Brasil, 4 to 3.
By the way, Palmeiras have an advantage in recent retrospect. In the sides’ last five matches, Verdão has achieved two wins, one of them in the 2021 Libertadores final, as well as two draws and a win for the Rossoneri.

How is Palmeiras doing?
Without winning for three rounds – two defeats and a draw -, Palmeiras is counting on a victory against Flamengo to recover morale in search of leaders Botafogo. Verdão has two reinforcements to face the Rio team. Coach Abel Ferreira, suspended for the last two matches, leads the team this Saturday. Who also returns Artur, who was out of the match against Sao Paulo, for the Copa do Brasil, for having played in the competition with Red Bull Bragantino.
Palmeiras, on the other hand, could miss Rony, who is recovering from a sprained left ankle and was absent in the derby against San Paolo. Furthermore, two other players also lack a certain presence in the match against Flamengo: Jailson and Zé Rafael.
How is Flamengo?
Coach Jorge Sampaoli will once again have to deal with the absences of Gabigol and Léo Pereira, who remain in the club’s medical ward. Even Pulgar, disqualified, does not play. The Argentine commander, on the other hand, will have the return of Matheus França, discharged from the doctors after recovering from pubic pain.
Furthermore, another novelty is the goalkeeper Rossi. As soon as he was hired, the Argentine was regularized, introduced and traveled with the delegation from Rio de Janeiro to Sao Paulo. However, the expectation is that Matheus Cunha follows the goal.
