Pedro should be a starter in Flamengo's attack

Flamengo has completed preparations to face Fluminense this Sunday (25th), for the fourth round of the Carioca. After starting on the bench against Vasco, Pedro is expected to be a starter in the ‘Fla-Flu’. The number 9 is even considered one of Filipe Luís's ‘trump cards’ for the classic.

This is because, since Pedro joined Flamengo, Fluminense has been the main victim of the red-black striker. In 20 matches played, the number 9 has scored seven goals and provided one assist.
