Overview
- Kickoff is 21:30 local at Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre, with TV Globo, SporTV and Premiere carrying the match.
- Flamengo leads with 74 points to Palmeiras’ 70, so only a victory preserves a realistic title chance, and a Flamengo win coupled with a Palmeiras loss would stretch the gap to seven.
- Palmeiras traveled with a heavily rotated group, leaving 11 starters in São Paulo and planning a direct flight to Lima immediately after the game.
- A reserve or mixed XI is expected, with players such as Gustavo Gómez, Raphael Veiga and Vitor Roque not listed among those traveling as focus shifts to the continental decider.
- Grêmio sits 12th on 43 points and would mathematically ensure Série A 2026 safety with a victory.
