The long-awaited clash between Flamengo and Cruzeiro , valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship, promises strong emotions this Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match can directly change the fight for the leadership of the competition , with both clubs experiencing a good moment in the season.
According to predictions from psychic Luiz Filho of the Renascer das Cartas channel, Flamengo will dominate most of the match, but will leave spaces open for Cruzeiro to exploit . Filipe Luís's team should show a strong comeback, but it will also face challenges due to the balance of the match.
According to the analysis, Leonardo Jardim 's team will adopt a more cautious approach than usual, which could create opportunities to surprise their opponents. However, the prediction suggests that Cruzeiro will miss good scoring chances , which could jeopardize the result at Maracanã.
The teams' evenly matched performance is highlighted by the cards, and a draw also appears to be a possibility. However, due to home advantage and their strong form in the championship, Flamengo appears to be a slight favorite to emerge victorious.
Flamengo and Cruzeiro are emerging as the stars of the 2025 season, delighting fans with their attacking style. In the first round, the Minas Gerais team won 2-1 at Mineirão Stadium , with goals from Kaio Jorge and Arrascaeta. Now, at Maracanã Stadium, Flamengo can extend their lead to seven points with a victory. Cruzeiro, on the other hand, with a victory, will close the gap in the standings and reduce the gap to just one point.

Rogério Ceni, Bahia coach: "Competing on equal terms with Flamengo is difficult for everyone"
"Competing on equal terms with Flamengo is difficult for everyone. Starting tomorrow, we'll be racking our brains to put together the team . We have Arias out and Gilberto back, we have two left-backs in addition to Juba, we'll have to make choices," said the coach.
He also explained that he intends to exercise caution in selecting some players: " Ademir isn't ready to start yet , and I can't risk what happened with Pulga. Let's take it easy and think about it. To play against Flamengo , we have to be a very competitive team. We have to repeat the spirit we had against Palmeiras; otherwise, we have no chance," he added.
In addition to the loss to Botafogo, Bahia is severely handicapped when it faces Flamengo. Sanabria (sent off) and Gabriel Xavier (automatically suspended) are out . Adding the injury losses, Rogério Ceni could have up to 13 players out for next Sunday's match.
On the other side, Flamengo concentrates its forces before thinking about Bahia. This Thursday (2), Rubro-Negro receives Cruzeiro, in a direct confrontation for the leadership of the Brasileirão . For the game, Filipe Luís has practically the entire squad available - the only confirmed absence is Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot.
