Flamengo vs Corinthians: Head-to-Head Record, Officials and Key Information for Round 27

Flamengo take to the field this Sunday (13) with one clear objective: to reclaim top position in the Brazilian Championship. Following Palmeiras' victory in the previous round, the Rubro-Negro must beat Corinthians at 17:30 at Maracanã to reassume first place in the competition. In fine form, Flamengo arrive on the back of four consecutive victories without conceding and count on the backing of their supporters to secure another positive result.

The Mais Querido (Flamengo's traditional nickname) arrive in impressive shape. Leonardo Jardim's side claimed leadership in the last round after edging Remo 1-0 in Belém, aided by a goalless draw between Palmeiras and Botafogo at the summit. In Serie A, Flamengo boast the competition's best attack with 51 goals scored, alongside the second-strongest defence, conceding just 21 goals.

The side have strung together four consecutive clean-sheet victories: 3-0 over Botafogo, 2-0 against Mirassol, 1-0 against Remo and 2-0 over Independiente del Valle.
