Flamengo drew 1-1 with Athletico-PR in the 16th round of the Brasileirão last Sunday (17). Now, the Rubro-Negro side is preparing for its final four matches of the season before the break for the World Cup.
First of all, Flamengo hosts Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (20), in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. After that, the Rubro-Negro side takes on Palmeiras on Saturday (23), in the 17th round of the Brasileirão, also at the Maracanã.
Later, on May 26, Flamengo hosts Cusco (PER) in the sixth and final round of the Libertadores group stage. Wrapping up this run of matches before the World Cup, the Rubro-Negro faces Coritiba in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
After drawing with Athletico-PR, Flamengo missed the chance to cut leader Palmeiras’ advantage even further. Currently, the São Paulo side leads the Brasileirão with 35 points. Fla, meanwhile, is in second place with 31, and has one game in hand.
Finally, in the Libertadores, Flamengo is waiting for Conmebol to officially confirm the walkover against Independiente Medellín. Once the 3-0 win over the Colombian side is confirmed, Fla will seal qualification for the round of 16 of the Libertadores even before facing Estudiantes, as the team will reach ten points and top Group A.
This Wednesday (20), Flamengo faces Estudiantes at the Maracanã in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with live broadcast on free-to-air TV by Rede Globo.
