Maracanã set to be packed: Flamengo v Cruzeiro ticket update | OneFootball

Almost 65,000 tickets have already been issued for the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro at Maracanã

A packed Maracanã will witness the clash between Flamengo and Cruzeiro this Thursday (02). This is because almost 65,000 tickets have already been issued for the match, which takes place starting at 8:30 PM.

Currently, tickets are only available for the Upper East Sector of Maracanã. However, they may sell out at any moment, as the match pits two contenders for the Brasileirão title against each other.

Why is the match decisive?

Flamengo leads the Brazilian Championship with 54 points, four more than the runner-up Cruzeiro. However, Filipe Luís's team still has one game less. Therefore, a Cruzeiro defeat this Thursday increases the gap, while a victory for the team from Minas Gerais reduces it.

How is Flamengo at Maracanã?

So far this season, Flamengo has 19 wins, five draws, and four losses in 28 games at Maracanã. However, two of the negative results occurred at the beginning of the Campeonato Carioca.
