Additionally, Roger Machado is expected to ‘bench’ some players considered starters, already eyeing the ‘decision’ with the same opponent on Wednesday (20th) for the Libertadores. Thus, players like Alan Patrick, Wesley, Bernabei, among others, might be preserved.

Flamengo travels to Porto Alegre with their best lineup, meaning full strength. This is because, besides this Sunday's (17th) match, the team led by Filipe Luís will face Internacional again on Wednesday (20th) for the Libertadores.

Since the beginning of the year, Flamengo has maintained that the Brasileirão is the ‘number 1 priority’ this season. Therefore, it is likely that coach Filipe Luís will include the main players for the match. Consequently, the team expected to take the field is: Rossi, Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Allan and Jorginho; Plata, Samuel Lino, Arrascaeta and Pedro.
