0This Sunday (11), Flamengo and Palmeiras face each other at 4pm, at Maracanã, in the 22nd round of Série A of the Brazilian Championship. The duel will be broadcast on Premiere, with narration by Paulo Andrade and comments by Eric Faria and Richarlisson.
O Flamengo is coming off a 1-0 defeat to São Paulo and occupies third place in the table with 40 points. Despite the defeat, Rubro-Negro achieved its first objective of August by guaranteeing classification in the Copa do Brasil. However, the performance in the second leg left something to be desired for the fans. Coach Tite may choose to choose the starting team, even with the next clash against Bolívar on Wednesday.

Bruno Henrique and David Luiz, who received their third yellow card in the match against São Paulo, are suspended and will not be on the field. On the other hand, Pedro and Luiz Araújo, who were suspended in the last round, are available for the clash.

0Flamengo 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.

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.
