TEAM NEWS
Palmeiras will have their entire squad available for this match and will use that to try to beat the champions.
As for Flamengo, they can count with striker Gabriel back from suspension – he's the league's top goalscorer – but we should start to see them rest some of their players to prepare for the Club World Cup.

MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Palmeiras have been disappointing recently and with no win in their last four matches after 1-0 way loss to Fluminense, the last time they played at home was a 2-1 loss to Gremio. They lost the title to this weekend's opponents and they see this game as an opportunity to honor the season.
What may help them is the fact that Flamengo have already won both the league and the continental cup and will head to Qatar in about ten days to play the Club World Cup, hoping to face Liverpool in the final, but for that they need to be prepared, so we can't expect much from them in these final matches of the Brazilian season.
They come from 27 consecutive unbeaten games, counting both league and cup matches, and that's one of the longest streaks in the history of Brazilian football, and that includes 12 games played as visitors(one of the matches played on neutral ground). This time, though, they face one of the strongest hosts in the country – the last time Palmeiras had lost at home prior to that Gremio defeat last weekend was back in May 2018 – and with that we can expect the hosts to win this game.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO - HIGH
Even though Flamengo may not be as focused in this match as they should be, or even if they rest some important players, they still have the best attack in the league – in fact, it's the best attack in the history of the league – and that might be enough to make this match end with three or more goals, leading us to a high score.
HEAD TO HEAD
In the last six times they played against Flamengo, Palmeiras managed to beat them only once.
