Palmeiras welcome Flamengo on Sunday, Nov 22 at 4:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Palmeiras come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Flamengo travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Palmeiras face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Flamengo have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Flamengo won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Palmeiras a slight edge, but Flamengo are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
