João Gomes, from Wolverhampton (ENG), faces Manchester City (ENG) this Saturday (16)

The Premier League kicked off this Friday (15), with Liverpool (ENG) winning 4-2 against Bournemouth (ENG). However, João Gomes' team, Wolverhampton (ENG), takes the field this Saturday (16) aiming to break Manchester City’s (ENG) streak.

This is because, in the last three Premier League seasons, Guardiola’s team has won their opening match of the national championship. Therefore, João Gomes’ team’s goal is to end Manchester City’s record and start the tournament with three points.

The match between Manchester City and Wolverhampton starts at 1:30 p.m. (Brasília time). As usual, since it holds the broadcasting rights to the Premier League, the match will be shown on ESPN, on cable TV, and on Disney+ via streaming.

And what about João Gomes’ Flamengo?

Flamengo, on the other hand, is in the middle of the Brazilian football season. Currently, the Most Beloved is leading the Brasileirão, with 40 points earned in 18 matches played.

And how are they doing in the Libertadores?

In addition, Flamengo is also still alive in the Libertadores da América. The Rubro-Negro is in the round of 16 of the continental tournament and has the advantage in the knockout stage against Internacional, having won the first leg 1-0. The return match takes place on Wednesday (20), at Beira Rio, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
