Flamengo return to action this Sunday (09) to face Vitória in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Mengão’s number 10, Arrascaeta, sent a message asking for the support of the fans of the Most Beloved at the Maracanã.
“Sunday, a new beginning. Maraca, I need you”, said Arrascaeta in a post on ‘X’, formerly Twitter. It is worth noting that, as usual, a full house is expected for the match between Flamengo and Vitória.
According to the latest update released, more than 30,000 tickets have already been sold for the game between Flamengo and Vitória. In other words, the expectation is that by Sunday (09), tickets for the match will be sold out.
Flamengo head into the match against Vitória under pressure to get a positive result. That is because the Rubro-Negro are coming off two straight draws in the Brasileirão. At the Maracanã, Fla drew 1-1 with São Paulo and repeated the score against Internacional at Beira-Rio Stadium.
As a result, Flamengo saw Palmeiras’ lead at the top of the Brasileirão grow even more. While the Rubro-Negro remain in second place with 39 points, the São Paulo side have 47 points.
Vitória are not having an easy time in the Brasileirão. Jair Ventura’s team sit in 13th place with 26 points. However, right now, the team is focused on the Copa do Brasil round of 16 against Athletico-PR. In the first leg, this Monday (03), the Bahia side lost 2-0.
The match between Flamengo and Vitória takes place this Sunday (09), in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.
