Flamengo returns to the field this Monday (25th) to face Vitória, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, judging by the recent history between the teams, one thing is certain: the rubro-negro fans will have to shout “goal” many times. After all, the last three clashes between the Rio and Bahia teams have totaled ten goals.
In other words, in the last three matches between Flamengo and Vitória, the average number of goals is more than three per game. In the most recent clash, the Most Beloved came out on top against their rubro-negro rivals with a 2-1 victory, in a match valid for the second round of the Brasileirão. Therefore, the Most Beloved’s supporters hope the match will be repeated, with a ‘rain of goals’ and a victory for Mengão.
In addition to the win in the last game, Flamengo has the advantage in the recent head-to-head record against Vitória. After all, in the last ten matches between the teams, the Most Beloved has seven wins, two draws, and only one loss. It’s worth noting that Mengão’s only negative result happened in the 2017 Brazilian Championship, when the Bahia team came out on top 2-0 at the Estádio Luso-Brasileiro.
Coach Filipe Luís has only one absence to deal with when naming Flamengo’s lineup this Monday (25th). That’s because Erick Pulgar is still recovering after fracturing the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. Thus, the expectation is that Mengo will take the field with the following names: Rossi; Varela (Royal), Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Saúl, Arrascaeta, Plata (Luiz Araújo), Samuel Lino and Pedro.
The match between Flamengo and Vitória takes place at 9:00 PM (Brasília time) this Monday (25th), at Maracanã, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage of the match through their website and social media. However, Premiere, on pay-per-view, will broadcast the match between the rubro-negros.
