The Brasileirão champion could be decided as early as the next round!

This is because, this Saturday (22), Flamengo defeated RB Bragantino 3-0, while Palmeiras drew 0-0 with Fluminense.

Now, the standings have Flamengo in the lead with 74 points and Palmeiras in second place with 70.

To be crowned champions in the 36th round, Flamengo will have to beat Atlético-MG and hope for a Palmeiras defeat against Grêmio in the South.

Both matches are scheduled for Tuesday (25), at 9:30 PM.

Palmeiras, on the other hand, will need to make up a FOUR-point difference in the final stretch to become Brazilian champions.

In other words, if Fla earns four points (one win, one draw, and one loss), Verdão will have to win ALL their matches.

And what a week it promises to be! In addition to fighting for the Brasileirão title, the clubs will also decide who will be the Libertadores champion.

Next Saturday (29), starting at 6 PM, Palmeiras and Flamengo will play the grand final of the continental tournament in Lima, Peru.

After the Libertadores, Fla will still play against Ceará (home) and Mirassol (away). Verdão, meanwhile, will visit Atlético-MG and Ceará.
