Current situation
Palmeiras arrives at the top of the table, with 35 points from 16 matches. Just behind is Flamengo, the current Brazilian champion, with 31 points and one game in hand.

If they win in front of their fans, the Rio team will reduce the difference to just one point and still have a match to play.

The teams go through different moments in the season. Flamengo arrives motivated after the victory over Estudiantes, last Wednesday (20), a result that guaranteed the club in the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
