Flamengo drew 1-1 with Athletico-PR in a match valid for the 16th round of the Brasileirão last Sunday (17). Now, the Most Beloved is preparing for a run of four straight home games.
In short, first Flamengo hosts Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) on Wednesday (20), in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. After that, the Most Beloved faces Palmeiras on Saturday (23), in the 17th round of the Brasileirão, also at the Maracanã.
Next, on May 26, Flamengo hosts Cusco (PER) in the sixth and final round of the Libertadores group stage. Wrapping up the run of matches at the Maracanã, the Rubro-Negro takes on Coritiba in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
After drawing with Athletico-PR, Flamengo missed the chance to cut leader Palmeiras’ advantage even further. Currently, the São Paulo team leads the Brasileirão with 35 points. Fla, meanwhile, is in second place with 31 and one game in hand.
In the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo was eliminated after being beaten by Vitória. Despite winning the first leg 2-1, the Most Beloved ended up losing the second leg 2-0 away from home and bowed out of the competition as early as the fifth round.
Finally, in the Libertadores, Flamengo is waiting for Conmebol to officially confirm the walkover against Independiente Medellín. With the confirmation of a 3-0 win over the Colombian side, Fla will seal qualification for the Libertadores round of 16 even before facing Estudiantes, as it will reach ten points and lead Group A.
This Wednesday (20), Flamengo faces Estudiantes at the Maracanã in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with live coverage on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV.
