Flamengo, for their part, are chasing down a first league title in five years. There is a three-way race at the summit, with third-placed Cruzeiro just three points behind the league leaders, having played a game more. Flamengo hold just a one-point lead over second-placed Palmeiras and will be hoping to claim maximum points.
