Flamengo could set historic Brasileirão mark against Vitória | OneFootball

Flamengo could set a historic Brasileirão mark against Vitória on Sunday, needing a positive result at the Maracanã to reach nine games unbeaten in this fixture.

In league meetings, their longest previous unbeaten run over Vitória came between 1996 and 2003, eight matches with seven wins and one draw. According to Coluna Do Fla, Flamengo are enduring a poor spell on and off the pitch, could welcome back Lucas Paquetá and Léo Ortiz, and, with Palmeiras hosting Internacional at Nubank Parque, have an obligation to beat Vitória to have a chance to cut the leaders’ advantage.

The current sequence also stands at eight, built since 2017 with six wins and two draws.

Flamengo arrive under pressure after back-to-back 1-1 draws, first against São Paulo at the Maracanã, then versus Internacional at Beira-Rio.

They sit second on 39 points, with Palmeiras leading on 47. Vitória are 13th with 26.

Kick-off is 19:30, Brasília time, in the 22nd round.
