Without being able to count on De La Cruz and Cebolinha among the starters, coach Tite will have to improvise in the midfield and offensive sector of Flamengo for the decisive clash against Palmeiras.
The coach's strategy will be to reinforce the marking with the midfielder duo Allan and Pulgar, leaving the creation of the plays to Arrascaeta. Furthermore, Tite will repeat the formula that worked in the last duel against Alviverde, choosing Luiz Araújo as a starter.
In search of the fifth Brazilian Cup title, Flamengo visits Palmeiras at Allianz Parque to try to confirm their classification for the quarter-finals of the tournament. In the first game, held a week ago at Maracanã, Rubro-Negro won 2-0, with goals from Pedro and Luiz Araújo.
To guarantee their place, the team led by Tite could even lose by a goal difference. If Palmeiras wins by two goals, the decision will go to penalties. Palmeiras will only advance directly if they win by three or more goals. The match is scheduled for 8pm (Brasília time).
Absences , only Cebolinha traveled with the team to São Paulo and should start the game on the bench. Flamengo's likely lineup to face Palmeiras at Allianz Parque is: Matheus Cunha; Varela, Fabricio Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Allan, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo and Pedro.

Flamengo faces the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América this Thursday. The opponent will be Peñarol from Uruguay and the match will take place at Maracanã, at 7pm (Brasília time). However, the directors participated in a dinner last night (Wednesday).
Directors from Flamengo and Peñarol met at the traditional dinner on the eve of clashes in the Conmebol Libertadores. Rubro-Negro was represented at the meeting by the vice-president of the Presidency's Office and Member of the Football Council, Diogo Lemos, by the vice-president of External Relations, Gony Arruda, and by the executive director of football, Bruno Spindel.
In the match against Peñarol, Rubro-Negro will have the return of Arrascaeta in the starting lineup. Fla's number 14 started on the bench against Vasco, but replaced Luiz Araújo, who was injured. Meanwhile, De La Cruz also returns to the starting 11 after recovering from injury. Finally, Gonzalo Plata and Alex Sandro had good performances against Vasco and should be kept for the match.
PEÑAROL ENDS PREPARATIONJust like Flamengo , the Peñarol (URU) squad also finished its preparation this Wednesday (18), focusing on the Libertadores clash. The Uruguayans used Botafogo's CT for the last training session before the game at Maracanã. It is worth noting that Peñarol’s training was “closed doors”. In other words, the press was unable to follow the activities carried out by coach Diego Aguirre.
