Jorginho back as Filipe Luís hints at Flamengo XI v Sampaio Corrêa | OneFootball

Flamengo faces Sampaio Corrêa with two absences in the Campeonato Carioca

Flamengo takes the field this Saturday (07) for a decisive match in the Campeonato Carioca. To face Sampaio Corrêa in the sixth round of the State Championship, coach Filipe Luís will have the return of Jorginho.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Rossi; Varela, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz (Vitão) and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar (Evertton Araújo), Jorginho and Arrascaeta (Carrascal); Paquetá (Plata), Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro.

After serving a suspension against Internacional, Jorginho returns and is expected to start. Additionally, Danilo is available again after resolving a personal issue. However, given a start to the season below expectations, Filipe Luís will need to prioritize players in better physical condition.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ANY ABSENCES?

Saúl remains out while recovering from ankle surgery. Additionally, due to muscle pain in his right thigh, Luiz Araújo will also be absent this Saturday (07).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE CARIOCA?

Flamengo starts the round in fifth place in Group B, within the relegation playoff zone. In other words, the red-black team needs to beat Sampaio Corrêa to keep their qualification chances alive.

Moreover, the team led by Filipe Luís will have to hope for at least one combination of results. In one scenario, Madureira needs to lose to Volta Redonda at Raulino de Oliveira, and Flamengo will have to overcome a three-goal deficit.

Another possibility involves Boavista, which must be defeated by Bangu at Moça Bonita, with the Red-Black reducing the two-goal difference. Finally, Flamengo also benefits from a slip by Nova Iguaçu against Portuguesa at Luso-Brasileiro, whether by draw or defeat.

WHAT TIME IS FLAMENGO VS. SAMPAIO CORRÊA?

Flamengo faces Sampaio Corrêa at 9 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (07) at Maracanã, for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match will be broadcast by SporTV (cable channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and Ge TV (YouTube).
