Palmeiras will be the host of the match for having won the Brazilian Championship in 2022. With a complicated start to the season and without exciting their fans, especially after the departure of Scarpa and Danilo, Verdão seeks to rediscover the good football it has shown in recent years, when it won titles at the highest level of South American football.

Flamengo kept the 2022 squad and brought important spare parts, such as the midfielder Gerson, beyond the technical Victor Pereirawho have great expectations for him to win his first title ahead of Mengão in 2023. Despite a few matches below, no one doubts the ability of Rubronero players to grow in big games, like Saturday’s and against a great rival.

Now with slightly higher favoritism for the club from Rio de Janeiro, it is up to Abel Ferreira and his team to overcome themselves once again and show why they are one of the best teams in the history of Brazilian football.
