Flamengo and Volta Redonda Team Compete in the Second Round of the Campeonato Carioca

Flamengo faces Volta Redonda this Saturday (17th), in a match valid for the second round of the Campeonato Carioca. This match is expected to be the last for Fla with a team 100% composed of the under-20 squad.

Additionally, Flamengo is discussing whether the entire main team will return to the field in the Fla-Flu match on January 25th, for the Carioca. It is worth noting that, so far, the Most Beloved has played all three games of the State Championship with the under-20 squad.

How Has the Under-20 Performance Been in the Carioca?

So far, the under-20 team of Flamengo has not managed to win in the Campeonato Carioca. This is because, in two games, the alternative team drew 1-1 with Portuguesa and then lost to Bangu, 2-1.

Now, the under-20 team of Flamengo has the mission to seek their first victory in the Carioca. Currently, the Rubro-Negro occupies the third position in Group B in the State Championship standings, with only one point earned in two matches.
