Carioca: Filipe Luís names Flamengo XI for Sampaio Corrêa clash | OneFootball

Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa face off in the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca

Flamengo continues its campaign in the Campeonato Carioca with a focus on the match against Sampaio Corrêa, on Saturday (07). For the sixth round of the State Championship, Filipe Luís will define the starting lineup in a training session held on the afternoon of this Friday (06).

Initially, the probable lineup for Flamengo is as follows: Rossi; Varela, Vitão, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Jorginho and Carrascal; Plata, Lino and Pedro. However, the team will still be finalized in Friday’s (06) training session.

Thus, at the training center, Filipe Luís will define Flamengo’s starting lineup to face Sampaio Corrêa in a session scheduled for 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time). It’s worth noting that, despite the probable lineup mentioned above, the red-and-black coach may field a different team.

Will Flamengo have changes in the lineup?

It’s possible. Due to the sequence of matches for some players, Filipe Luís may rotate Flamengo’s squad a bit more during the Carioca. Although Rossi appears as the likely starter, Andrew could get some minutes in the State Championship.

In the meantime, all of Filipe Luís’s doubts regarding Flamengo’s lineup will be resolved in Friday’s (06) training session. At Ninho do Urubu, the coach and the technical staff will analyze the best options for this particular match.

What is Flamengo’s current situation?

Currently, Flamengo occupies fifth place in Group B of the Carioca. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro needs to finish among the top four to continue in the fight for the state title. However, Fla does not depend solely on its own result.

Thus, to advance to the knockout stage of the Carioca, Flamengo needs to win the match against Sampaio Corrêa, and also hope for at least one slip-up from Madureira, Boavista, or Nova Iguaçu.

What are the match and broadcast details?

Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa will play the sixth round of the Carioca starting at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (07). The match will take place at Maracanã. Finally, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the game.
