- 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.

- 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.
