Flamengo and Internacional face off in a clash marked by significant absences in the 21st round of the Brazilian Serie A; check out the probable lineups and where to watch.
Flamengo faces Internacional this Wednesday (29) at 7:30 PM BRT (Brasília Time), at Beira-Rio stadium. The match, valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship, promises to be a tactical challenge for both coaches, who must deal with significant absences even before kick-off.
Absences and Team Scenarios
The Gaucho club is going through a delicate period and will take the field with six absences: Victor Gabriel (suspended), Kayky and João Victor (injured), in addition to Sergio Rochet, Thiago Maia, and Benjamin, who are still undergoing physical conditioning. Coach Paulo Pezzolano will have the task of reshaping the team to seek recovery.
On Flamengo’s side, the situation also requires caution. Coach Leonardo Jardim will be without Gonzalo Plata (right knee tendinitis), Luiz Araújo (left leg injury), and Lucas Paquetá (in transition). The Carioca team seeks to maintain its pace at the top of the table, taking advantage of the opponent’s unstable moment.
Caution Accumulation List Raises Concerns
In addition to the confirmed absences, the risk of suspensions for the next round is a real concern for the coaching staffs. For Internacional, coach Pezzolano and players Bernabei, Bruno Gomes, and Matheus Bahia are one yellow card away from suspension.
For Flamengo, an alert has been issued for Bruno Henrique, De La Cruz, Everton Cebolinha, and Samuel Lino. Should any of these players receive their third yellow card, they will automatically miss the following match against Vitória.
Probable Lineups
Internacional is expected to line up with: Anthoni; Bruno Gomes, Maripán, Mercado, and Matheus Bahia; Villagra, Bruno Henrique, Vitinho, and Bernabei; Carbonero and Alerrandro.
Flamengo is expected to start the match with: Rossi; Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira, and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Jorginho, and Samuel Lino; Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique, and Pedro.
