Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (22) to face Chapecoense in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The match, in fact, is Rubro-Negro’s first official one since the end of the World Cup. However, Fla’s track record in first matches back after the world tournament is not among the best.
07/13/2006 – Paraná 4×1 Flamengo 07/14/2010 – Flamengo 1×0 Botafogo 07/16/2014 – Flamengo 1×2 Athletico-PR 07/18/2018 – Flamengo 0x1 São Paulo
Since the 2006 World Cup, the first edition after the Brasileirão adopted the round-robin format with 20 teams, Flamengo has recorded one win and three losses in return matches. It is worth noting that, in 2022, the world tournament took place in December, after the end of club competitions.
At the moment, Flamengo sits second in the Brasileirão table with 34 points. In 17 matches, Rubro-Negro has ten wins, four draws, and three losses. League leader Palmeiras has 41 points, but with 18 matches played.
That said, Flamengo sees the next four rounds of the Brasileirão as ‘key matches’ in the chase for Palmeiras. Rubro-Negro’s goal is to cut at least four of the seven-point advantage held by the São Paulo team.
Flamengo has five absences for this Wednesday’s (22) match against Chapecoense. Léo Ortiz remains in the physical transition process, while Lucas Paquetá and Luiz Araújo are under the care of the Medical Department.
In addition, De La Cruz will be rested for the match due to the synthetic pitch at Arena Condá. Finally, Jorge Carrascal will serve an automatic suspension after receiving a red card against Palmeiras.
The match between Flamengo and Chapecoense takes place this Wednesday (22), in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The game will therefore be played at Arena Condá, in Santa Catarina, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
As usual, Coluna do Fla brings you all the details on Flamengo in the 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, Globo (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match against Chapecoense.
