Carioca today: Flamengo v Sampaio Corrêa, plus 3 more matches | OneFootball

Eight teams take the field this Saturday (07), for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca

The sixth and decisive round of the Campeonato Carioca promises plenty of excitement. In the fight for a spot in the State Championship playoffs, eight teams will take the field this Saturday (07). In addition to Flamengo vs Sampaio Corrêa, three other matchups will shake up the competition.

WHAT ARE TODAY'S CARIOCA MATCHES?

WILL ALL THE MATCHES BE SIMULTANEOUS?

The Rio de Janeiro Football Federation (FERJ) changed, last Tuesday (03), the dates and times of the final round matches of the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, the matches that influence the definition of the Group B qualifiers, with Flamengo in contention, will take place simultaneously this Saturday (07), all at the same time.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE CARIOCA?

With four points and the worst goal difference in the group, alongside bottom-placed Maricá, Flamengo is trying to avoid the relegation playoff of the Campeonato Carioca. Therefore, only a win will do for the Rubro-Negro this Saturday (06).

Currently outside the playoff qualification zone, Flamengo needs to beat Sampaio Corrêa. In addition, they must hope for at least one slip-up from Madureira, Boavista, or Nova Iguaçu.

This is because the only scenario in which the Rubro-Negro would advance without earning three points in the final round involves a draw with Sampaio Corrêa and, even then, a defeat of Nova Iguaçu by five or more goals against Portuguesa.

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO vs SAMPAIO CORRÊA?

This Saturday (07), Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa face off in the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match kicks off at 9:00 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match on YouTube, on the website, and on social media.
