One of the main classics of Brazilian footballtakes place this Sunday (21). Flamengo and Palmeiras face each other at Allianz Parque, in the third round of the Brasileirão. In the midst of this, the match generates great expectations, and the red and black fans are already 'on the edge'. After all, recently, the São Paulo team benefited from refereeing errors in matches against Fla.
LIST OF GAMES
28/01/23 – Palmeiras 4×3 Flamengo (Brazilian Super Cup) | Palmeiras' irregular goal not disallowed
07/08/23 – Palmeiras 1×1 Flamengo (14th round – Brasileirão) | Penalty not scored for Flamengo
08/11/23 – Flamengo 3×0 Palmeiras (33rd round – Brasileirão) | No problems with arbitration
REMEMBER THE BIDS AND GAMES
One of the big controversies was at the beginning of 2023. This is because Palmeiras beat Flamengo by 4 to 3 in the Brazilian Super Cup. However, the last Palmeiras goal was clearly offside by Mayke. The athlete, despite not touching the ball, was in an irregular position and got in the way of Santos, Fla's goalkeeper at the time. The referee, however, did not report anything.
Next, when Flamengo and Palmeiras faced each other for the Brasileirão, the first round game ended in a 1-1 draw. However, there was an unmarked penalty for Fla. This is because, after Everton Ribeiro was thrown into the area, midfielder Richard Ríos gave a strong push with his shoulder, on the back of the then red-black number 7. The refereeing, both on the field and in the VAR, did nothing.
After the two controversial games, Flamengo managed to get through a game 'unscathed' against Palmeiras. On this occasion, in the 33rd round of the 2023 Brasileirão, Fla was merciless and, without being harmed by the refereeing, won 3-0. Striker Pedro scored two goals, while Arrascaeta scored one.
IMPORTANT CONFRONTATION IN BRASILEIRÃO 2024
Although the Brasileirão is only in the third round, the game between Flamengo and Palmeiras already has a decisive tone. This is because the teams are identified as the main contenders for the title. Furthermore, the situation in the table is already curious for both.
Flamengo won the first two rounds and took the lead. Now, to stay at the top, they only think about victory against their rivals. Meanwhile, Palmeiras lost the second game and needs to beat Fla to recover.

São Paulo takes the field seeking its first Women's Copa do Brasil title . The Tricolor team comes into this match after defeating Vasco 3-1 away from home in the previous round. In the Brazilian Championship, however, the São Paulo team was eliminated in the semifinals by Corinthians.
FLAMENGO MOMENT

With a poor performance away from home, the Argentine team tries to stop Mengão's momentum in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals

Estudiantes faces Flamengo this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . The Argentine club arrives under pressure due to irregular results in the season and seeks to rediscover the good football of the beginning of the year to overcome one of the strongest teams in Brazil.
In 2025, the La Plata team played 36 matches, totaling 15 wins, eight draws, and 13 losses, with 42 goals scored and 40 conceded, a success rate of just over 49%. Away from home, the record is even more challenging: in 18 away matches, they have recorded just five wins, four draws, and nine losses.
On the other hand, Flamengo has maintained a solid performance at Maracanã , where they have lost only four times this season, only two of which have come against the main team. This makes the match even more difficult for the Argentine team, which will need to overcome one of the most intense atmospheres on the continent.
While performance away from La Plata is a concern, Estudiantes ' home record is positive. In 17 matches, they've won nine, drawn four, and lost four . This home strength could be an asset in the return leg, but first, the team needs to contain Flamengo 's momentum in Rio de Janeiro.
A traditional Libertadores champion, Estudiantes shares the title with River Plate as the most successful Argentine team in the competition and demonstrates experience in knockout stages. In the current edition, they lost only two matches in the group stage, against Universidad de Chile and Botafogo. In the round of 16, they eliminated Cerro Porteño after a 1-0 away win and a 0-0 draw in the return leg in La Plata.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.
All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.
