Flamengo continues preparation to face Juventude, this Sunday (14), for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Vice-top scorer of Mengão this season, Pedro is expected to start the match among the starters. Moreover, the number 9 could be a 'trump card' for the Most Beloved in the clash.
That's because, Pedro has already faced Juventude five times wearing the Flamengo jersey. In the meantime, the striker has six goals scored and one assist given. In addition, the center forward has the upper hand in the record, as there are three victories for the red-black player and two triumphs for the team from Rio Grande do Sul.
Pedro went through a real roller coaster in the 2025 season. That's because, in April, the striker returned to the fields after a severe knee injury. Moreover, the number 9 went through a delicate situation amid off-field controversy, after poor performances in training. However, the player recovered and is Fla's vice-top scorer of the year, with 12 goals and five assists.
Flamengo, at this moment, is leading the Brazilian Championship, with 47 points earned. In the meantime, Filipe Luís's team has 14 victories, five draws, and only two losses. Right behind, Cruzeiro appears in second place, with 44 points. Juventude is in the 18th position of the table, with 21 points.
With Pedro available, Flamengo returns to the field for the Brazilian Championship this Sunday (14). On the occasion, Filipe Luís's team faces Juventude, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round of the tournament. As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match, through YouTube, the website, and social networks.
