Flamengo and Vasco play in the third round of the Campeonato Carioca, at Maracanã


Flamengo has two losses and one draw, placing them at the bottom of Group B in the state championship. Thus, facing Vasco this Wednesday (21) will be crucial for Mengão to dispel the possibilities of going to the relegation playoff and return to the qualifying zone.

To avoid the relegation playoff, the Rubro-Negro needs to finish the first phase among the top four in the group. The team is two points behind Boavista, in fourth place, and has three games remaining.

What does Flamengo need to do in the remaining 3 games of the Carioca?

  • Fla vs Vasco: Rubro-Negro needs to win to keep the ten-point ceiling alive in the competition.
  • Fla vs Flu: besides triumphing, they need to hope that two rivals from Group B lose their respective matches.
  • Fla vs Sampaio Corrêa: Mais Querido must win the match and count on two competitors in the group stumbling so they do not surpass 9 points.

Any result after the three rounds that keeps Fla in the last two positions of the group will force them into the relegation playoff. In this stage, four clubs face each other in a round-robin format, totaling six matches for each side. The worst team will play in the second division of the Carioca.

When does the reaction in the Carioca start?

Thus, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (21) to face Vasco. The Clássico dos Milhões takes place from 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the third round of the Carioca.
