We head to Brazil for Matchday 17 of Serie A, featuring a top-of-the-table clash between Flamengo and Palmeiras.
Flamengo, the defending champions, are riding a wave of momentum and are determined to hold onto their position. Currently in second place with a game in hand, the team is just four points behind the league leaders, none other than their opponents today. Leonardo Jardim’s men are on an excellent run and haven’t lost a league match in seven rounds. After sharing the points with Vasco at home (2-2), they went on to win at Grêmio (0-1). Last weekend, they drew on the road against Athletico Paranaense (1-1).
After narrowly missing out on the title last year, finishing three points behind Flamengo, Palmeiras is determined to get its revenge. The current league leader boasts an impressive record of 10 wins, 5 draws, and just 1 loss. While they had won 7 of their last 8 league matches, Abel Ferreira’s squad has hit a rough patch and is coming off three consecutive draws against Santos (1-1), Remo (1-1), and Cruzeiro (1-1). To make matters worse, they have just lost at home to Cerro Porteño, a modest Paraguayan team, in the Copa Libertadores (0-1).
