No Maracanã: Flamengo aim to extend good run in league and Libertadores | OneFootball

After a perfect four-game run in Rio, Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Atlético-MG and Estudiantes (ARG) away from home

The comfort of the Maracanã gives way to ‘life on the road’. After securing a 100% record in a four-game stretch at the ‘Sacred Temple’, Flamengo now takes on the challenge of logistics in two straight away fixtures.

Under the command of Leonardo Jardim, the squad travels to face Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (26), at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte, for the 13th round of the national competition.

In addition, on Wednesday (29), Mengão switches focus to the Libertadores, looking to prove that the solidity shown in front of the Nação remains intact away from Rio. At Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in La Plata, the Rubro-Negro takes on Estudiantes (ARG) in the third round of the continental tournament’s group stage.

100% RECORD AT THE MARACANÃ?

In the last four matches it played at the Maracanã, Flamengo was overwhelming. The red-and-black side scored ten goals and conceded only three, averaging 2.5 goals per match. The winning run included Fluminense, Independiente Medellín (COL) and Bahia.

In addition, Rio’s Rubro-Negro completed the streak with a perfect record by beating Vitória 2-1. Now, the challenge is to take that efficiency beyond Rio and maintain the intensity away from the ‘Sacred Temple’.
