What Flamengo need to qualify in the Carioca | OneFootball

Flamengo needs to beat Sampaio Corrêa this Saturday (07)

Currently, Flamengo occupies fifth place in Group B of the Carioca. Because of this, the Rubro-Negro needs to finish among the top four to continue competing for the state title. However, for that to happen, Fla does not depend solely on its own result.

What does Flamengo need to qualify?

In summary, to advance to the knockout stage of the Carioca, Flamengo needs to win the match against Sampaio Corrêa, and also hope for at least one slip-up from Madureira, Boavista, or Nova Iguaçu.

With four points and the worst goal difference in the group (tied with bottom-placed Maricá), only a win matters for Flamengo. That’s because the only scenario in which the Rubro-Negro would advance to the knockout stage without earning three points in the final round would be if they draw with Sampaio Corrêa and Nova Iguaçu loses to Portuguesa by five or more goals.

Which results does Flamengo need to root for?

*Remember, if they beat Sampaio Corrêa, it is enough for one of the results above to happen for Flamengo to qualify in the Carioca.

What are the details of the match?

Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa will play the sixth round of the Carioca starting at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (07). The match will take place at Maracanã. Finally, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the game.
