Flamengo seek win to try to secure a place in the Brasileirão U-20 quarterfinals; Avaí fight against relegation

The moment of decision has arrived in the Brazilian U-20 Championship. This Wednesday (01), Flamengo and Avaí face off in the 19th and final round of the first phase of the national competition.

The match takes place at 3:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at CT Ninho do Urubu, in Rio de Janeiro. While the Rio-based side chases qualification for the knockout stage, the team from Santa Catarina is playing for survival in the top flight of the category.

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO VS AVAÍ?

The match will be broadcast exclusively by UOL Esporte via streaming. In addition, Coluna do Fla will provide the result and the main highlights on its website and social media, keeping fans informed about every detail of the clash.

HOW DOES FLAMENGO COME INTO THE MATCH?

At the moment, Flamengo sit ninth in the table with 27 points. The Rubro-Negro need a win to keep their hopes of reaching the quarterfinals alive.

However, Mengão’s fate does not depend solely on their own efforts. That is because the Rubro-Negro need to win and hope for slip-ups from Athletico, Cruzeiro, or Corinthians, the teams currently making up the top eight.

If the result is a draw, the situation becomes more complicated. That is because Flamengo’s goal difference is unfavorable compared to their direct rivals.

Coach Marcelo Salazar faces major challenges in putting together his lineup. Players such as center-back João Victor, full-back Johnny Góes, and forward Alan Santos are with the senior squad during the mid-season training camp in Portugal and will be absent from the U-20 team for this decisive match.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Gabriel Werneck; Gusttavo, Da Mata, Diego Queiroz and Gustavo Ramires; Kaio Nóbrega, Jhefinho and Pablo; Sayago, Josmar and Douglas Telles.

HOW DID FLAMENGO’S LAST MATCH IN THE BRASILEIRÃO U-20 GO?

In the previous round, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Corinthians at Parque São Jorge. The match was intense and evenly balanced. However, although Rubro-Negro maintained attacking pressure for much of the contest, they found it difficult to break down the opposing defense.

WHAT ABOUT AVAÍ?

Avaí are going through a critical moment. With 15 points, the Santa Catarina side, coached by Ramon Lima, sit in 18th place, in the relegation zone.

Thus, the goal in the final round is to overtake Juventude, the first club outside the bottom three, also on 15 points. Avaí need a better result than the team from Rio Grande do Sul to avoid relegation.

WHAT IS AVAÍ’S PROBABLE LINEUP?

João Vitor; Lucas, Thiago, Felipe and Gabriel; Pedro, Matheus, Bahia and Gui Amorim; Luizinho and Luiz Fábio.
