Could Flamengo seal Sport’s relegation? Check out the possible scenarios | OneFootball

Flamengo and Sport play in the 12th round of the Brasileirão this Saturday (15), starting at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time)

Sport is virtually relegated, and the definitive drop could happen against Flamengo this Saturday (15). Rivals since the Brasileirão of 1987, the teams face each other at Arena de Pernambuco, for the 12th round of the tournament, starting at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

There are six rounds left until the end of the Brasileirão, and Sport is in last place with 17 points. The first team outside the relegation zone is Vitória, with 35 points, while Santos is just below, with 33 points.

How can Flamengo relegate Sport?

To mathematically relegate Sport, all Flamengo needs to do is win the match at Arena de Pernambuco. That’s because the Recife team would no longer have a chance to surpass either Santos or Vitória, even if both lost all six remaining games.

To avoid relegation, however, Sport needs to win all six remaining games and still hope that Santos and Vitória don’t score any points. Therefore, the team’s chances of staying in Série A are slim.

Will Flamengo take it easy?

In addition to fighting for the lead in the Brasileirão, Flamengo has no reason to help Sport. That’s because the teams have disliked each other since the Brasileirão of 1987, when the Recife team won the second division and wanted to play a final against the Rio team, champions of the first division.

What time do Flamengo and Sport play?

Flamengo faces Sport this Saturday (15). The match takes place at Arena de Pernambuco, starting at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a postponed game from the 12th round of the Brasileirão.
