Flamengo are based in Rio de Janeiro. However, the Rubro-Negro side can also be considered comfortable in Salvador, Bahia. That is because Mengo have eight wins in their last ten matches in the Bahian capital. So, Fla play Vitória this Thursday (14) at Barradão.
Therefore, Mengão’s only two defeats in Salvador came against Bahia, while Vitória were beaten on every occasion. As a result, the Rubro-Negro side have not been involved in any recent draws in the Bahian capital.
The first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil ended 2-1 to Fla at the Maracanã. Therefore, Mengo only need a draw at Barradão to advance, but a one-goal Vitória win will send the tie to penalties. A Bahia side victory by two or more goals, however, would eliminate the Rio club.
In search of a ninth win in Salvador, Flamengo face Vitória this Thursday (14). The ball starts rolling at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
Therefore, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage on the website, YouTube, and other social media platforms. The broadcast of the Copa do Brasil clash, however, will be on Premiere (pay-per-view) and SporTV (subscription channel).
