Flamengo seek to match 2022 Brasileirão streak against Bragantino | OneFootball

Flamengo face Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday 20 in the 28th round of the Brasileirão, chasing a fifth straight league win for the first time since 2022. According to Coluna Do Fla, the fixture carries added weight for the leaders as they look to match that mark.

Their last five-game sequence came in July 2022, when they beat Coritiba 2-0 and Juventude 4-0 at Mané Garrincha, Avaí 2-1 at the Ressacada, Atlético-GO 4-1 at the Maracanã, and São Paulo 2-0 at the MorumBIS.

They arrive on a four-match streak against Botafogo, Mirassol, Remo and Corinthians, so victory over Bragantino would equal that 2022 run. Between April and May they also strung together four wins over Santos, Fluminense, Bahia and Atlético-MG, before a 2-2 draw with Vasco halted the push.

Flamengo top the table with 57 points. Palmeiras drew level on Sunday after a 0-0 with Grêmio, so a home win would restore an advantage over the São Paulo club.

Bragantino sit 10th on 36 points and come in winless in three, with one draw and two defeats.

Kick-off is 18:30 Brasília time at the Maracanã, with an expected crowd of 65,000. SporTV and Premiere will broadcast the game.
