Flamengo and Botafogo face off this Wednesday (15th) at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Engenhão, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. This match marks the 14th state derby for Filipe Luís as the head coach of the professional Flamengo team.
The coach's track record in derbies is positive so far. There have been seven wins, five draws, and only one loss against Carioca rivals. Additionally, Flamengo under Filipe Luís has won two titles: the Supercopa against Botafogo and the Carioca against Fluminense.
Filipe Luís' performance in state derbies is 66.7%, considering matches against Botafogo, Fluminense, and Vasco.
Despite the history, Flamengo under Filipe Luís is trying to bounce back in the Brasileirão after losing the lead. With 55 points, the Rubro-Negro is in second place and has won only once in the last three rounds.
Botafogo has not managed to beat Flamengo since Filipe Luís took over as head coach. In the three encounters so far, the alvinegro team has suffered two defeats and only managed a draw.
The most notable defeat occurred in the Supercopa do Brasil final, won by Flamengo 3-1. After that, Botafogo lost again in the Carioca Championship and also drew without goals in the first round of the Brasileirão.
The match will be broadcast by Premiere (pay-per-view), Record (open TV), and CazéTV (YouTube). Meanwhile, Coluna do Fla provides complete real-time coverage on social media and the official website.
