Flamengo takes the pitch this Wednesday night (29) at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) to face Internacional at Beira-Rio in a match valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Serie A. With the lineups confirmed, head coach Leonardo Jardim has opted to stick with the same team that faced São Paulo in the last round.

Even with the return of Léo Ortiz to the squad, the coach preferred to keep Vitão in the starting defense. On the bench, the Mais Querido has options such as De La Cruz, Bruno Henrique, and Everton Cebolinha. On the other hand, the Rio-based team will be without Gonzalo Plata, Luiz Araújo, and Lucas Paquetá, who remain sidelined due to medical issues.
