On Sunday afternoon (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), Juventude and Flamengo take to the field at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium , in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship . In the previous duel for the competition, Rubro-Negro drew with Grêmio 1-1, at Maracanã, and seeks to find the way to victories away from home.

Due to its relevance, the matchup has even sparked curiosity in the esoteric world. Luiz Filho, a well-known psychic from the YouTube channel "Renascer das Cartas," performed a deck reading for the match. According to him, Juventude " holds the Death card, a powerful card that symbolizes change and strategy, but also highlights potential flaws and mistakes in home plays ."

On the other hand, the team led by Filipe Luís received the "Hanged Man's card." For the seer, this means that the Mais Querido team "will not change its attacking style, but will act more cautiously and will need to work on its emotional side to avoid mistakes."

RECENT RECORDS

In the first round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo thrashed Juventude 6-0. Now, the team from Rio Grande do Sul is looking to maintain its strong record against the Rio de Janeiro team. "Mais Querido" needs a win to remain comfortably at the top of the table.

AND THEN?

After facing Juventude this Sunday (13), Mengão faces Estudiantes for the Copa Libertadores . The match will be valid for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the competition, held at Maracanã.

Palmeiras gave Internacional no chance and won 4-1 this Saturday (13), in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The big name of the night was striker Vitor Roque , who scored three goals. With the result, the São Paulo team reaches the same 21 games as the leader Flamengo and puts itself in the fight for the top of the table.

From the opening whistle, Abel Ferreira's team exerted intense pressure and opened the scoring after just three minutes. After a corner kick, Felipe Anderson pounced on the loose ball and passed it to Vitor Roque, who finished with precision past goalkeeper Rochet .

INTENSE PRESSURE AND EFFICIENCY

The home team's dominance continued intensely. In the 23rd minute, a solo play by Flaco López found the ball in the path of Facundo Torres, who found Vitor Roque again to extend the lead . Five minutes later, in the 28th minute, Lucas Evangelista pounced on a rebound from Felipe Anderson's shot following a short corner kick to score the third goal for the Green and Whites.

Before halftime, in the 42nd minute, Vitor Roque shone once again, completing a pass from Gustavo Gómez and scoring Palmeiras' fourth goal, making it 4-0 in the first half. In the second half, with victory virtually assured, Palmeiras slowed down. Internacional, which had produced little up until then, managed to pull one back in the 26th minute.

PALMEIRAS CLOSES TO THE LEAD

With this result, Palmeiras reaches the same 21-game streak as the leader and reinforces its position as the main contender for the title. Vitor Roque's performance boosts the squad's confidence for the rest of the season.
