Flamengo could clinch the ‘title’ early with win over Mirassol, here’s how | OneFootball

What title can Flamengo win in the match against Mirassol?

Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (09) to face Mirassol, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. In this match, Mengão will be seeking victory with the goal of staying at the top of the table. In fact, if they win, Filipe Luís’s team could become champions of the first half of the national tournament.

At the moment, Flamengo and Cruzeiro both have 37 points in the Brasileirão standings, but Rubro-Negro has the advantage in goal difference. Therefore, if they defeat Mirassol later, Mengão will have the edge to finish the first phase of the championship as leaders. It’s important to note that Fla has one game less than the team from Minas, as they have yet to play against Sport due to the Club World Cup.

WHAT ABOUT CRUZEIRO?

To become champions of the first half, Cruzeiro will have to hope for a Flamengo slip-up against Mirassol and, in addition, win their match against Santos. If both teams win their respective games, Leonardo Jardim’s team will only finish at the top of the table with a big win over the team from Baixada Santista.
