Flamengo faces Sampaio Corrêa this Saturday (07), for the last round of the group stage of the Carioca. The match kicks off at 9 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla brings the main information to the fans about the decision that Mengão will have soon.
The match against Sampaio Corrêa will determine Flamengo's progression in the competition. This is because, at the moment, the Rubro-Negro does not yet have a guaranteed spot in the Carioca quarter-finals and has chances of competing in the final relegation quadrangular.
Thus, the math for Flamengo is as follows: beat Sampaio Corrêa and hope for setbacks from Madureira, Boavista, and Nova Iguaçu. In this scenario, the Rubro-Negro secures a spot in the decisive matches.
For the match against Sampaio Corrêa, Flamengo has a confirmed absence, which is Saúl Ñíguez. The absence is due to the Spaniard still recovering from surgery on his left heel. Meanwhile, Luiz Araújo continues to treat muscle pain and is therefore unlikely to be listed for the match.
On the other hand, Flamengo has Lucas Paquetá, who will make his re-debut with the Sacred Mantle in the Carioca. The tendency is that the player will start in the midfield of Mengão.
Sampaio Corrêa will maintain the same team base that has been playing throughout the Carioca. The only change will be in the midfield, as Pablo will serve an automatic suspension.
The game between Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa will be broadcast by Premiere, via pay-per-view, and by SporTV, on a closed channel, and by GETV, on YouTube. Additionally, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the match with the most Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
