Without victory in the Brasileirão, São Paulo hosts Flamengo

São Paulo and Flamengo compete in the 21st round of Series A of the Brazilian Championship this Saturday (6). The Morumbi Stadium match will be broadcast live on Rádio Nacional from 20:30 pm (Brasília time), with comments by Rodrigo Campos, comments by Waldir Luiz, reporting and journalism by Rodrigo Ricardo.

The hosts from São Paulo face the Red and Blacks in the round of 3 of the Copa Sudamericana, while the Tricolors face Ceará in the quarter-finals. Last Wednesday (1), coach Rogério Ceni's team beat Nordeste 0-10. And now, next Wednesday (XNUMX), there will be another duel, this time at Castelão, in Fortaleza.

Thus, given the club's belief that it is possible to win the continental competition this year, coach Rogério Ceni's tendency is to start the game against Flamengo with another team. Brazil's chances are smaller, considering that São Paulo is only in tenth with 26 points, 16 points behind leader Palmeiras.

Black and red people also live in similar situations to the homeowners. Coach Dorival Júnior's players played against Corinthians in the Libertadores quarter-finals. Even with a 2-0 away win, the Rio de Janeiro coach must save a significant portion of the current champions.

The São Paulo game is important for Flamengo's ambitions in the national competition. In fifth place, Gariocas is 9 points behind Palmeiras, who leads the overall score. In other words, winning or losing can increase or decrease the distance to first place.
