Palmeiras have had an impressive run in the Copa Libertadores. They won all six group stage matches, earning 18 points and advancing to the knockout stage in first place. In the round of 16, Palmeiras thrashed Universitario 4-0, then defeated River Plate 5-2, and in the semifinals made an incredible comeback. LDU Quito won the first leg 3-0, but Palmeiras responded with a 4-0 victory at home to reach the final.

In the round of 16, Flamengo defeated Internacional 3-0, then narrowly beat Estudiantes 3-2, and in the semifinals won tightly contested matches against Racing 1-0.
Both teams are at the top of Brazil’s Serie A. Palmeiras sit second with 70 points from 36 rounds, while Flamengo lead the championship with 75 points. With only two rounds remaining, a win in the next round would secure Flamengo the title.
