Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (15th) to face Botafogo in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca. In this way, Coluna do Fla brings details and informs the time when the classic will begin.
Botafogo vs Flamengo is scheduled to start at 5:30 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (15th), at Nilton Santos Stadium. It's important to note that the quarterfinal is a single match. In other words, whoever wins the upcoming clash secures a spot in the semifinals of the Carioca.
Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the classic with on-site coverage by Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Rede Globo (broadcast TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will also air the classic.
Coach Filipe Luís has three confirmed absences for Flamengo. Starting with Saúl Ñíguez, who is still recovering from surgery on his left heel. Jorginho is also out, as he suffered a left thigh injury. Finally, De La Cruz will be absent due to restrictions with the synthetic turf at Nilton Santos Stadium.
In addition, Flamengo still has two doubts for the classic. Varela remains uncertain, as the full-back missed the match against Vitória last Tuesday (10th) due to ankle pain. Alex Sandro may also be out due to physical fatigue at the start of the season.
Botafogo has a series of absences for this Sunday's (15th) classic. Starting with the nine players released to travel early to Bolivia in preparation for the Libertadores match. The game will be on Wednesday (18th) against Nacional Potosí (BOL), at altitude. Finally, Allan (suspended), as well as Chris Ramos, Kaio Pantaleão, Marçal, Ponte, and Santi Rodríguez (injured), are also out.
The opponent for whoever advances from the clash between Flamengo and Botafogo is already set. Last Friday (13th), Madureira beat Boavista 2-1 and now awaits the winner of the upcoming classic. In the other bracket, Vasco awaits the winner of the match between Fluminense and Bangu, which will be played on Monday (16th) at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
