DUEL ON THE RIVERSIDE

The Brasileirão match takes place during the break in the Copa Libertadores dispute between the two clubs. In the first leg of the round of 16, Mengão won 1-0 at Maracanã. The return leg will be next Wednesday (20), also at Beira-Rio, at 9:30 pm . The winner of this continental clash will face the winner of the duel between Cerro Porteño-PAR and Estudiantes-ARG in the quarterfinals.

PROBABLE LINEUPS

The team led by Filipe Luís should enter the field with: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or Evertton Araújo), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Pedro.

Internacional, under the command of Roger, should start with: Rochet; Alan Benítez, Clayton Sampaio, Victor Gabriel and Bernabei; Luis Otávio, Bruno Henrique, Gustavo Prado and Vitinho; Borré and Valencia.

This Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) , Mengão visits Internacional at Beira-Rio for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship Series A. Flamengo arrives at the clash with 40 points in 17 games , occupying the leadership of the competition.

Cruzeiro, with 37 points from 19 matches, is the only team that can get closer in the standings this round . Internacional, meanwhile, has 24 points and sits in 11th place before kick-off. This is a crucial matchup for both teams.

PROBABLE LINEUP

According to the week's training sessions, Flamengo 's likely lineup is: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro.

EMERSON ROYAL IS OUT

Coach Filipe Luís is expected to make changes to the lineup, as has been common during his tenure. Emerson Royal sprained his left ankle during last Wednesday's game (13) at Maracanã and is unable to play. Varela will be the replacement at right-back and is expected to take over the position.

EXPECTATION OF RETURN

Another point of concern is De La Cruz's situation. The midfielder has been sidelined since July due to left knee pain , but he's expected to be included on the bench, having traveled south with the Mais Querido team.

In the first leg, Flamengo won 3-2, earning their first victory against Palmeiras in women's soccer history. Djeni opened and closed the scoring, while Jucinara scored the second goal for Flamengo. For Flamengo, Tainá Maranhão scored twice. The result gives the Meninas da Gávea the advantage of a draw on aggregate. If Palmeiras recovers the one-goal deficit, the match will go to penalties.

FLAMENGO'S ADVANTAGE

Until the first leg, the teams' head-to-head record showed a clear advantage for Palmeiras, with seven meetings between them, all of which went to Palmeiras. The red-and-black victory at Gávea broke that record and raised expectations for a tight duel in São Paulo.

In addition to a spot in the semifinals, the competition also involves the battle for top scorer. Palmeiras' Amanda Gutierres leads with 15 goals, while Flamengo 's Cristiane is third with nine . Neither of them scored in the first game, but they remain individual standouts.
