At last, the wait is over! Flamengo return to the pitch this Wednesday (22) when they take on Chapecoense in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The clash marks the Rubro-Negro’s official return to the field after the break for the World Cup.
The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena Condá in Chapecó. Rede Globo will broadcast the game on free-to-air TV across the entire country. In addition, fans can follow the match on Premiere via pay-per-view.
Meanwhile, Coluna do Fla will stream Chapecoense vs Flamengo on YouTube. That way, the team delivers the most rubro-negro commentary on the internet. The website also follows every step of Mengão daily, bringing news, interviews, behind-the-scenes coverage, and everything involving the Most Beloved.
In addition, Coluna do Fla’s reporting team will be in Chapecó with on-site coverage. Reporter Léo José will provide exclusive details of the match directly from Arena Condá, covering the delegation’s arrival at the stadium, the key moments of the game, and the atmosphere in the Santa Catarina arena.
As mentioned, the rubro-negro side will play its first official match after the mid-season break and international friendlies. The last of those, in fact, ended in a 4-2 win over Olimpia (PAR) at Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília.
Flamengo currently sit second in the Brasileirão with 34 points and are looking for a win to stay close behind leaders Palmeiras, who have 41, while still having one game in hand over their São Paulo rivals.
By contrast, the Santa Catarina side are rooted to the bottom of the table in 20th place, with just nine points, and are in a delicate situation in the battle against relegation in the national championship.
Flamengo will take the field without five players available. Lucas Paquetá and Luiz Araújo are recovering from injury. In addition, Léo Ortiz is still in the recovery phase after a thigh injury and will miss out, while the coaching staff are resting De La Cruz because of Arena Condá’s artificial turf. Finally, Carrascal is serving an automatic suspension.
Despite the absences, the coaching staff also had to assess the fitness of the players returning after the World Cup. As a result, the probable lineup is: Rossi; Varela, Léo Pereira, Vitão and Ayrton Lucas; Erick Pulgar, Jorginho and Samuel Lino; Plata, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.
