Overview
- The postponed 12th‑round match kicks off Saturday at 18:30 (BRT) at Arena Pernambuco and streams exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
- Flamengo sits second on 68 points after a win over Santos, while bottom‑placed Sport has 17 and must win to avoid immediate relegation.
- Flamengo travels with numerous absences due to FIFA dates and injuries, including national‑team call‑ups such as Danilo, Alex Sandro, Varela, Viña, Arrascaeta, Carrascal and Gonzalo Plata, plus injured players like Léo Ortiz and Pedro.
- UFMG’s Bola de Cristal model favors Flamengo with about a 43.8% win probability, gives Sport roughly 20.3%, and a draw 35.9%, with the tool already projecting Sport’s relegation since the previous round.
- Sport owns the league’s worst home record this season, taking only 20% of available points, and has not beaten Flamengo since 2017.
