The Brasileirão champion could be crowned as early as the next round!
This potential outcome arises from Saturday’s matches (22), where Flamengo defeated RB Bragantino 3-0, while Palmeiras drew 0-0 with Fluminense.
Following these results, Flamengo now leads the standings with 74 points, while Palmeiras sits in second with 70 points.
To secure the championship in the 36th round, Flamengo must win against Atlético-MG and hope that Palmeiras loses to Grêmio.
Both matches are set for Tuesday (25) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
On the other hand, Palmeiras needs to close a four-point gap to secure the title. This means if Flamengo gets four points from their remaining matches (one win, one draw, one loss), Palmeiras must win all of theirs.
Fla and Palmeiras Upcoming Schedule ⚔️
It’s an exciting week ahead! Along with the battle for the Brasileirão title, both clubs will also compete for the Libertadores championship.
Next Saturday (29), starting at 6 PM, Palmeiras and Flamengo will face off in the grand final of the continental tournament in Lima, Peru.
