Flamengo completes preparations to face Botafogo this Wednesday (15), for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The coach of Mengão, Filipe Luís, is trying to recover the football of the Rubro-Negro and, for this, he meets an old rival in the national championship.
Adding the matches as a player and coach, Filipe Luís faced Botafogo seven times for Flamengo. During this period, the coach has four wins, two draws, and one loss. In other words, the Rubro-Negro coach has a 66.7% success rate against the Carioca rival.
It is worth noting that, at this moment, Filipe Luís is in talks with Flamengo to finalize the contract renewal. Despite the desire of both parties to extend the agreement, details such as contract duration, salary, and termination clause still need to be finalized.
Flamengo approaches the match against Botafogo trying to recover in the 2025 season. This is because Filipe Luís's team has only one win in the last five games, along with two draws and two losses. Thus, the coach relies on the good track record against the rival to return to winning ways.
With Filipe Luís on the sidelines, Flamengo faces Botafogo this Wednesday (15). The Carioca classic takes place at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos Stadium, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Cazé TV (YouTube), Record (open channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Botafogo match.
