Flamengo returns to action this Wednesday (15), against Botafogo, at Nilton Santos Stadium, in a match valid for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the “Pre-Match” show from Coluna do Fla, which starts at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) on YouTube, discusses all the topics of the match this Tuesday (14).
Léo José and Rodrigo Lima lead the broadcast on the YouTube channel of Coluna do Fla, which will cover several topics, starting with Flamengo’s absences. Saúl, De La Cruz, and Allan will hardly be available to Filipe Luís against Botafogo.
In addition, Wallace Yan is out for Flamengo due to a red card. The young center forward was sent off after being on the field for just 11 minutes in the match against Bahia, at Arena Fonte Nova, in the 1–0 defeat.
Flamengo has a positive recent record against Botafogo. That’s because, in the last ten games, the red-and-black team won six and drew one. Lastly, the General Severiano side prevailed on only three occasions, the last time being in 2024.
In the last five games, Flamengo has dropped in performance and shows an inconsistent run. The team led by Filipe Luís only beat Corinthians, 2–1, coming from behind. However, they drew with Vasco and Cruzeiro and were defeated by Estudiantes (ARG) and Bahia.
On the other hand, Botafogo has a similar run, having beaten only Bahia and Atlético-MG in that span. In addition, they drew with Grêmio and were beaten by Fluminense and Internacional, dropping out of the top four of the Brazilian Championship.
The Coluna do Fla program will begin at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) on YouTube, with commentators Léo José and Rodrigo Lima. As usual, Flamengo fans receive a special invitation to take part in the most red-and-black live on the internet.
