Undefeated in the Brazilian Championship , Flamengo continues its preparation to face Grêmio this Sunday (13), at 5:30 pm, in Porto Alegre . The match is valid for the third round of the competition. With a strong squad and a promising start under the command of Filipe Luís , Rubro-Negro is considered by many to be one of the great candidates for the title — including Neymar .
Because of the cast it has and Filipe Luís...
During an interview with 'Cazé TV', the Santos striker highlighted Flamengo as one of the main favorites for the national title . " Palmeiras is one because they have been playing together for a long time and have had their coach for a long time at the club. Flamengo , because of the squad they have and Filipe Luís, who is a great coach. The third team is Botafogo, who had a great year last year and kept the base this year", declared Neymar.
Flamengo currently has four points , with a win over Vitória and a draw against Internacional . The team is in sixth place, but has the same number of points as the other teams at the top of the table.
The year 2025 has been positive for Flamengo. In 21 matches played so far, the team won 13 , drew five and lost only three , only one of which was with the main team. During this period, they won the Supercopa do Brasil , the Taça Guanabara and the Campeonato Carioca .
Despite the praise and declared affection, Flamengo did not move forward with Neymar after his departure from Al Hilal. According to reports, José Boto ruled out signing him because he did not fit the profile of the current management . Even so, the number 10 “flirted” with the club and reaffirmed his desire to one day wear the Sacred Mantle.
Flamengo will have another opportunity to show that Neymar is right in his statement this Sunday (12), when the Mais Querido faces Grêmio in Porto Alegre for the third round of the Brasileirão . The match will be at 5:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Arena do Grêmio. The national classic will be broadcast by Rede Globo.

Flamengo held a training session at Ninho do Urubu on Wednesday afternoon (17) with the entire squad on the field. However, Pulgar, Jorginho and Alex Sandro are still doing specific work and will not be available for the game on Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.
Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar has returned to action on the pitch, but still needs at least two weeks to be cleared for the final phase of physical conditioning. He is recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, suffered in June.
Jorginho and Alex Sandro are also out of the squad . The Italian-Brazilian midfielder is treating a muscle swelling in his left thigh and is undergoing transition activities supervised by physiotherapists. The left-back, meanwhile, continues to recover from a left calf injury.
Without the trio, Flamengo should enter the field with: Rossi; Varela (or Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; De la Cruz (or Allan), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique (or Pedro) and Samuel Lino.
On the other side, coach Eduardo Domínguez projects a balanced match and highlighted Estudiantes' confidence in achieving a good result away from home.
