Grêmio Vs Flamengo Set for 19h30 Sunday at Arena

Grêmio vs Flamengo arrives Sunday at 19h30 at Arena, in Porto Alegre, with both sides carrying different pressure into the 15th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Grêmio starts the round in 14th place with 17 points, while Flamengo opens the weekend six points behind Palmeiras.

Grêmio and Flamengo at Arena

Grêmio comes in after beating Deportivo Riestra on Tuesday in the Copa Sul-Americana and has gone five games unbeaten across the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil. The team has also not lost at Arena for more than 100 days, a run that gives Castro a steady home base as he prepares to keep the side in a three-center-back formation.

That shape is expected to hold even with several absences forcing changes. Nardoni and Arthur are out with thigh injuries, Riquelme is suspended, Villasanti has an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee and Marlon is sidelined by a fracture in his right ankle.

Flamengo’s Porto Alegre trip

Flamengo reached Porto Alegre directly from Colombia after its Libertadores match against Independiente Medellín was canceled. The team trained on Friday and Saturday, then heads into the league match after a late draw with Vasco and with Alex Sandro suspended after his third yellow card in the classic.

Leonardo Jardim also has to manage more than one missing piece. Arrascaeta, Pulgar and Paquetá remain unavailable, while Carrascal is back available in the Brasileirão and is set to replace Arrascaeta among the starters.
