One of Flamengo’s strengths against Independiente Medellín (COL) this Thursday (16) is the Maracanã. That is because the Rubro-Negro have suffered only two home defeats this season.
As a result, Fla have recorded eight wins and two draws in 12 matches at the Maraca. Given the team’s strong record, Mengão face the Colombian side in the second round of Group A of the Libertadores, starting at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time.
Mengão’s first setback at the Mário Filho Stadium came against Fluminense, still in the Campeonato Carioca. Then, Lanús (ARG) beat Fla in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.
However, the 12 matches also include those in which the club were not the home side, even though they were played at the stadium. After all, the Rubro-Negro have played nine matches as the official home team, winning six, drawing two, and losing only one.
The clash between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín kicks off at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Thursday (16), in the second round of the Libertadores. Therefore, the match will take place at the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro.
As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN and Disney+ will broadcast the match.
