Flamengo XI: Filipe Luís hints at starters v Sampaio Corrêa | OneFootball

Flamengo faces Sampaio Corrêa with two absences in the Campeonato Carioca

Flamengo takes the field this Saturday (07) for a decisive match in the Campeonato Carioca. To face Sampaio Corrêa in the sixth round of the State Championship, coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with three absences.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Rossi; Varela, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz (Vitão) and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Evertton Araújo and Arrascaeta (Carrascal); Paquetá (Plata), Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro.

After the Supercopa match against Corinthians, Jorginho reported muscle pain in his left thigh. Imaging tests conducted throughout the week confirmed an injury in the posterior region.

Additionally, Saúl remains out while recovering from surgery on his left ankle. Lastly, due to muscle pain in his right thigh, Luiz Araújo will also be absent this Saturday (07).

WILL FLAMENGO HAVE ANY REINFORCEMENTS?

Danilo is back in action after resolving a personal issue. However, given the below-expected start to the season, Filipe Luís will need to prioritize players in better physical condition.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE CARIOCA?

Flamengo starts the round in fifth place in Group B, within the relegation playoff zone. Therefore, the red-black team needs to beat Sampaio Corrêa to keep their chances of qualifying alive.

Moreover, the team led by Filipe Luís will have to hope for at least one combination of results. In one scenario, Madureira needs to lose to Volta Redonda at Raulino de Oliveira, and Flamengo will have to overcome a three-goal deficit.

Another possibility involves Boavista, which must be defeated by Bangu at Moça Bonita, with the Rubro-Negro reducing the two-goal difference. Finally, Flamengo also benefits from a slip-up by Nova Iguaçu against Portuguesa at Luso-Brasileiro, whether by draw or defeat.

WHAT TIME IS FLAMENGO VS. SAMPAIO CORRÊA?

Flamengo faces Sampaio Corrêa at 9 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (07) at Maracanã, for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match will be broadcast on SporTV (cable channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and Ge TV (YouTube).
