Examining both teams’ recent performances, Palmeiras has secured only one win in its last five matches, while Flamengo has not lost since May, when they fell 3-0 to Palmeiras.
In terms of standings, Flamengo holds a superior goal difference over their São Paulo rivals, with a tally of 25 compared to 21.

In fact, the Rubro-Negro can be seen as the competition’s “virtual” leader because they have a game in hand, precisely against Mirassol at the Maracanã, still without a date scheduled by the CBF.

Starting with the teams’ current form: while Verdão has one win in its last five matches, Flamengo last lost in May (3-0, precisely to Palmeiras).
In the current standings, Rubro-Negro has a better goal difference than its São Paulo rival (25 to 21).
