Brazilian: Fla receives Fortaleza in search of the corner at Maracanã

Brazilian: Fla receives Fortaleza in search of the corner at Maracanã

In a duel between teams at opposite times, Flamengo welcomes Fortaleza this Sunday (5), at Maracanã, for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship, at 16:00 (Brasilia time). Rubro-Negro aims for the fifth consecutive victory (combining the Brasileirão and Libertadores), all playing in the stadium they consider their home (Last Sunday’s Fla-Flu was commanded by Tricolor, but was also held at Maracanã). The team from Ceará still doesn’t know what it’s like to win in the competition and embitter the bottom line with just two points in eight matches.Brazilian: Fla receives Fortaleza in search of the corner at Maracanã

The expectation is for a full house, with an audience approaching 60 thousand at Maracanã. The Flamengo fan is excited about the team’s recovery, which has not lost in six games, considering Brazilian, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. Portuguese coach Paulo Sousa, who was at the helm of the team, gained a breath of tranquility, especially after fellow countryman Jorge Jesus, former Flamengo coach, was announced this week as coach of Fenerbahçe (Turkey), ending the cycle of speculation regarding a possible return. At the moment, the team from Rio has 12 points, but started the round just three points behind leaders Palmeiras, Atlético-MG and Corinthians.

For this match, Sousa will have two important absences: Uruguayan De Arrascaeta, who is playing friendlies with his country’s team, and forward Gabriel Barbosa, suspended for having received his third yellow card in the derby against Fluminense.

On the other side of the field will be Fortaleza led by Argentine Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who continues with the rope around his neck despite having advanced in the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores in a historic way. The team will enter the field as the only one that has not yet won in the current edition of the Brazilian and having the worst attack of the competition, with only four goals scored in eight matches.

The Leão hoped to put an end to the bad phase last Wednesday (1), when he played a late game in the third round. However, the Clássico-Rei against the biggest rival, Ceará, ended in an opposing victory by 1 to 0 and more headache for the club, which is now five points behind the closest team, Juventude, which has seven, in 19th place.

At Maracanã, Fortaleza will have a series of absences: Felipe, Ceballos and Lucas Lima are suspended, while Tinga, Matheus Vargas and Renato Kayzer are injured.
