Filipe Luís handed ‘special mission’ for Flamengo’s next Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Flamengo needs to break a 27-year-old taboo of not winning against Juventude away from home

Currently, the schedule of the main national clubs is on hold due to the FIFA September break. However, Filipe Luís is starting to prepare for a complex 'mission' for the next Flamengo game in the Brasileirão.

That's because, Flamengo has the complex mission of ending a historical taboo of more than 27 years without winning against Juventude away from home. In short, the last Flamengo victory in Caxias do Sul was on October 1st, 1997. On that occasion, for the Brasileirão, the teams faced each other in the 22nd round.

With a goal from Rodrigo, 24 minutes into the second half, Flamengo beat Juventude 1-0, in Caxias do Sul. However, since then, Flamengo has been on a drought of more than 27 years without beating the team from Rio Grande do Sul away from home. Since then, the teams have faced each other on 13 other occasions.

What are Flamengo's numbers during this period?

It's important to note that, in the last 13 games against Juventude, Flamengo lost seven times and drew the other six. Therefore, the Most Beloved has not managed to beat the team from Rio Grande do Sul in any match since 1997.

Under the command of Filipe Luís, it will be the first time that Flamengo visits Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Rio Grande do Sul. With the Red-Black on a roll and leading the Brasileirão, it may be that the Most Beloved can end the taboo.

What are the details of the next match?

Finally, Flamengo and Juventude only face each other on September 14th, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the teams will face off starting at 4pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Rio Grande do Sul.
