WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF VITÓRIA AND GRÊMIO IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Vitória has suffered four straight defeats and is going through its worst stretch since 2024. The poor run led to elimination from the Copa do Brasil against Vasco and a dangerous slide toward the relegation zone. Recently, club director Fábio Mota called a press conference to address the situation and acknowledged the difficult scenario, but assured full backing for head coach Jair Ventura and the squad.

On the other hand, Grêmio arrives motivated after securing a place in the Copa do Brasil semifinals by beating rival Internacional. In addition, the club defeated Chapecoense in the previous Brasileirão round, a result that brought some relief in the standings. Currently, the team sits in 15th place with 28 points, but has the chance to open a six-point gap over the relegation zone with a win.

AND FLAMENGO?

Flamengo beat Remo 1-0 at Mangueirão Stadium this Sunday (06), reaching 54 points in the Campeonato Brasileiro standings. With the result in the 26th round, the Rubro-Negro side took the lead in the national competition, leaving Palmeiras in second place with 53 points.

HOW DID THE MATCH AGAINST REMO GO?

In the first half, Flamengo dominated possession, broke through Remo’s marking, and created great chances, highlighted by a Samuel Lino shot saved by Marcelo Rangel. Meanwhile, Remo looked to counterattack and nearly scored with a Taliari header stopped by Rossi. In addition, the Mangueirão pitch showed problems from the start, a situation made worse by heavy rain that caused frequent slips and misplaced passes.

In the second half, Flamengo came back with greater attacking superiority. However, the team was denied by a series of saves from Marcelo Rangel, who stopped headed efforts and a shot by Pedro from almost on the goal line.

Later, in the 19th minute, the defensive resistance was broken when Arrascaeta found Samuel Lino with a precise pass, leading to a placed finish that opened the scoring for the Rio team. Shortly afterward, the rain became even heavier, leaving the pitch waterlogged and making passing much more difficult for both sides. As a result, the score remained 1-0.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT BRASILEIRÃO MATCH?

Flamengo returns to the field in the Brasileirão next Sunday (13) against Corinthians at the Maracanã. Before that, however, Mengão has another commitment, the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals, on Thursday (10), against Independiente del Valle (EQU).

The ball starts rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa in Quito, with full coverage from Coluna do Fla. In addition, ESPN (cable TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will show the match.
