Flamengo
Flamengo started the new season quite well and was leading the Serie A standings for some time. However, the team's form has recently declined.
The "Red and Blacks" first drew at home with Cuiaba, and then surprisingly lost to Fortaleza. As a result, the club lost its top position, falling behind Palmeiras and Botafogo.
Criciuma
Criciuma finished in third place in the Brazilian Serie B last season, earning promotion to the top division for the first time in 10 years.
Criciuma aims to establish itself in Serie A and is managing this task so far. Their performances can't be called outstanding, but the team is consistently picking up points. However, Criciuma has taken only one point from their last three matches, despite playing against teams lower in the table.
