Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (20) to face Red Bull Bragantino in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The match is important for the Rubro-Negro, who is trying to secure a fifth straight win in the league for the first time in four years.
The last time Flamengo won five straight matches in the Brasileirão was in July 2022. On that occasion, the Most Beloved came out on top against Coritiba, Juventude, Avaí, Atlético-GO, and São Paulo. Therefore, Coluna do Fla brings Mengão’s results in that run.
Flamengo 2 x 0 Coritiba – Mané Garrincha Flamengo 4 x 0 Juventude – Mané Garrincha Flamengo 2 x 1 Avaí – Ressacada Stadium Flamengo 4 x 1 Atlético-GO – Maracanã Flamengo 2 x 0 São Paulo – MorumBIS
Flamengo is coming off four straight wins in the Brasileirão, against Botafogo, Mirassol, Remo, and Corinthians. So, a positive result against Bragantino would match a feat that has not happened since 2022.
Between April and May this year, Flamengo also put together four consecutive victories by beating Santos, Fluminense, Bahia, and Atlético-MG. However, a 2-2 draw with Vasco ended the streak before a fifth triumph.
Currently, Flamengo leads the Brasileirão with 57 points. Palmeiras drew level on points with Fla this Sunday (20) after a 0-0 draw with Grêmio. In other words, Mengão can open up an advantage over the São Paulo side if it gets the better of Bragantino.
On the other hand, Bragantino sits in 10th place in the Brasileirão with 36 points. The São Paulo team, meanwhile, comes into the match on a three-game winless run, with one draw and two losses in that span.
The match between Flamengo and Bragantino takes place at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (20), in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The clash will be held at the Maracanã, with an expected crowd of 65,000 fans.
Accordingly, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo x Bragantino match. In addition, Coluna do Fla will follow every detail of the clash on the website, on YouTube, and across social media.
