This Thursday (02), Flamengo takes the field to face Red Bull Bragantino in the Brazilian Championship. As a result, the two teams are going through completely different spells, and the snapshot of the previous five matches shows an 11-point difference.
That is because Flamengo has earned 13 points in its last five Brazilian Championship matches. In that stretch, the team scored 11 goals and conceded only two. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro side leads the tournament in that regard, ahead of Fluminense and Palmeiras, both with 12.
On the other hand, Red Bull Bragantino is the second-worst club in the Brazilian Championship based on the last five matches. The Bragança Paulista team has only two points in that span, in which it scored four goals and conceded eight.
Flamengo is currently sixth in the Brazilian Championship, with 14 points won. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro team is outside the G-5, the group that qualifies for the Copa Libertadores. Red Bull Bragantino, meanwhile, sits in 15th place, close to the relegation zone.
Thus, Flamengo faces Red Bull Bragantino this Thursday (02), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in Bragança Paulista, in a match valid for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match.
