WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION ON THE MATTER? – Flamengo has a good opportunity to keep picking up points and maybe even try to close the gap to leaders Palmeiras. In front of a packed Maracanã, the tendency is for the Rubro-Negro to take control of the game and do the job at home, coming away with the win –, said Rodrigo Lima, reporter for Coluna do Fla.
