Flamengo has two losses and one draw, placing them at the bottom of Group B in the state championship. Thus, facing Vasco this Wednesday (21) will be crucial for Mengão to dispel the possibilities of going to the relegation playoff and return to the qualifying zone.
To avoid the relegation playoff, the Rubro-Negro needs to finish the first phase among the top four in the group. The team is two points behind Boavista, in fourth place, and has three games remaining.
Any result after the three rounds that keeps Fla in the last two positions of the group will force them into the relegation playoff. In this stage, four clubs face each other in a round-robin format, totaling six matches for each side. The worst team will play in the second division of the Carioca.
Thus, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (21) to face Vasco. The Clássico dos Milhões takes place from 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the third round of the Carioca.
Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (closed channel), and Premiere (pay per view) will broadcast the match.
