Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa face off in the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca

Flamengo continues its campaign in the Campeonato Carioca with a focus on the match against Sampaio Corrêa on Saturday (07). For the sixth round of the State Championship, Filipe Luís will decide the starting lineup during a training session held on Friday afternoon (06).

Initially, the probable lineup for Flamengo is as follows: Rossi; Varela, Vitão, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Jorginho and Carrascal; Plata, Lino and Pedro. However, the final lineup will still be decided in Friday's training session (06).

Thus, at the training center, Filipe Luís will decide the starting lineup for Flamengo that will face Sampaio Corrêa in a training session scheduled for 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time). It is worth noting that, despite the probable lineup mentioned above, the red-and-black coach may field a different team.

Will Flamengo have changes in the lineup?

It's possible. Due to the sequence of matches for some players, Filipe Luís may rotate the Flamengo squad a bit more during the Carioca. Although Rossi is expected to start, Andrew may get some minutes in the State Championship.

In the meantime, all of Filipe Luís' doubts regarding the Flamengo lineup will be resolved during Friday's training session (06). At Ninho do Urubu, the coach and technical staff will analyze the best options for this particular match.

What is Flamengo's current situation?

Currently, Flamengo occupies fifth place in Group B of the Carioca. As a result, the Rubro-Negro needs to finish among the top four to continue competing for the state title. However, Fla does not depend solely on its own result.

Therefore, to advance to the knockout stage of the Carioca, Flamengo needs to win the match against Sampaio Corrêa, and also hope for at least one slip-up from Madureira, Boavista, or Nova Iguaçu.

What are the details of the match and broadcast?

Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa will play the sixth round of the Carioca starting at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (07). The match will take place at Maracanã. Finally, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
