Flamengo look to extend unbeaten run v Vitória in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Filipe Luís' Team Remains at the Top of the Brazilian Championship

Flamengo is making the final adjustments to face Vitória this Monday (25th), in a match valid for the 21st round of the Brasileirão. Filipe Luís' team, in fact, is determined to secure another victory to widen their lead in the national championship. With that in mind, the Most Beloved is looking to maintain an ‘absurd’ unbeaten streak against the club from Bahia.

This is because the last time Vitória defeated Flamengo was in the 2017 Brasileirão. On that occasion, the teams faced off in the 19th round of the tournament, and the team from Bahia came out on top 2-0 at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro. Since then, the clubs have met six times, with the Most Beloved recording four wins and two draws.

How is Flamengo coming into the match?

It’s worth noting that Flamengo has only one confirmed absence for the match against Vitória: Erick Pulgar. The midfielder is still recovering after fracturing the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. As such, the expectation is that the Chilean will return to the pitch in the final stretch of September.

How are the teams doing in the Brasileirão?

Flamengo currently sits at the top of the Brazilian Championship table, with 43 points. In the competition, Filipe Luís' team has 13 wins, four draws, and only two losses. On the other hand, Vitória is fighting against relegation and is in 17th place on the table, with 19 points.

When do Flamengo and Vitória face each other?

The clash between Flamengo and Vitória takes place this Monday (25th), for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The match between the rubro-negros kicks off at 9pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage of the match through their website and social media. However, the match will also be broadcast on Premiere (pay-per-view) as part of the league’s round-robin tournament.
