The fourth round of the Campeonato Carioca comes to an end this Tuesday (27th) with a match that directly interests Flamengo. Maricá and Sampaio Corrêa face each other at Estádio Municipal João Saldanha at 5:00 PM (Brasília time), and the result could leave the Rubro-Negro at the bottom of Group B by the end of the round.
Currently, Maricá is at the bottom of Group B with three points. Meanwhile, Flamengo is in the second-to-last position with four points, and if the Maricá team wins or draws, the Rubro-Negro will finish the fourth round at the bottom.
On the other side, Sampaio Corrêa is in fifth place in Group A, also with three points. However, they have played one game less than their opponent (one win and one loss in two matches).
For fans who want to follow the match, the broadcast will be exclusively on the pay-per-view system. The match will be shown on Premiere, and Coluna do Fla will publish the result and update the standings after the game ends.
The top four teams from each group (A and B) advance to the quarterfinals, while the fifth and sixth place teams compete in the relegation playoff. Therefore, depending on the sequence of results in the upcoming rounds, Flamengo could be virtually eliminated from the knockout stage and will need to beat Sampaio Corrêa in the last round, as well as hope for a combination of results to advance.
