Flamengo target flawless run vs Sampaio Corrêa, chase Carioca spot | OneFootball

Flamengo Achieves Two Wins in Two Matches Against Sampaio Corrêa

Flamengo is still fighting for a spot in the knockout stage of the Campeonato Carioca. To qualify, the Rubro-Negro needs to defeat Sampaio Corrêa this Saturday (06) and is betting on their favorable record against the Saquarema team to advance in the state championship.

In the Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo has faced Sampaio Corrêa twice. In 2024 and 2025, the Rubro-Negro team won both matches 2-0, maintaining a 100% success rate.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE CARIOCA?

With four points and the worst goal difference in the group, alongside the bottom team Maricá, Flamengo is trying to avoid the relegation playoff in the Campeonato Carioca. Therefore, only a victory matters for the Rubro-Negro this Saturday (06).

Currently outside the qualification zone for the knockout stage, Flamengo needs to beat Sampaio Corrêa. Additionally, they must hope for at least one slip-up from Madureira, Boavista, or Nova Iguaçu.

This is because the only scenario where the Rubro-Negro would advance without earning three points in the final round involves a draw with Sampaio Corrêa and, still, a defeat of Nova Iguaçu by five or more goals against Portuguesa.
