Favourable path? Flamengo face home run in bid for top spot 👀

Flamengo is closing the gap in the Brasileirão standings, but their upcoming fixtures suggest a promising trajectory. The Brazilian club will play four of their next five matches at home, with the rest being away games. The only trip away from the Maracanã comes against Pará-based Remo. In these final matches, Flamengo will face Botafogo in 11th place, Mirassol in 17th, Corinthians in 10th, and RB Bragantino in 7th.

Palmeiras, conversely, will only play two home games during this period, including a crucial derby against São Paulo.

Currently, Flamengo trails behind Palmeiras by six points. However, this favorable run could significantly narrow the gap or even propel Flamengo to the top of the table. Flamengo currently sits at 45 points, while Palmeiras boast 51 points. It's important to note that Flamengo will also be involved in the Libertadores throughout the period, while Palmeiras will compete in both the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.
