Carioca today: Flamengo v Sampaio Corrêa, three more games | OneFootball

Eight teams take the field this Saturday (07), for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca

The sixth and decisive round of the Campeonato Carioca promises plenty of excitement. In the fight for a spot in the State Championship playoffs, eight teams will take the field this Saturday (07). In addition to Flamengo vs. Sampaio Corrêa, three other matches will shake up the competition.

WHAT ARE TODAY'S CARIOCA MATCHES?

WILL ALL THE MATCHES BE SIMULTANEOUS?

The Rio de Janeiro Football Federation (FERJ) changed, last Tuesday (03), the dates and times of the matches for the final round of the Campeonato Carioca. As a result, the matches that influence the qualification for Group B, with Flamengo in contention, will take place simultaneously this Saturday (07), all at the same time.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE CARIOCA?

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

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

That's because the only scenario in which Rubro-Negro would advance without earning three points in the final round involves a draw with Sampaio Corrêa and, even then, a defeat for Nova Iguaçu by five or more goals against Portuguesa.

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO vs. SAMPAIO CORRÊA?

This Saturday (07), Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa face off in the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match kicks off at 9:00 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the clash on YouTube, on the website, and on social media.
