Flamengo Lineup: Filipe Luís Confirms Carioca XI

Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa face each other in the sixth round of the Carioca Championship


Flamengo continues to compete in the Campeonato Carioca with a focus on the game against Sampaio Corrêa, on Saturday (07). For the sixth round of the State Championship, Filipe Luís defines the starting team in training held this Friday afternoon (06).

Initially, Flamengo’s likely lineup is as follows: Rossi; Varela, Vitão Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Jorginho and Carrascal; Plata, Lino and Pedro. However, the team will still be defined in training this Friday (06).

Thus, at CT, Filipe Luís defines Flamengo’s starting team that will face Sampaio Corrêa in training scheduled for 4:30 pm (Brasília time). It is worth noting that, despite the probable lineup mentioned above, the red-and-black coach could send a different team to the field.

Should Flamengo have changes to the team?

It’s possible so. Due to the sequence of games of some athletes, Filipe Luís may rotate the Flamengo team a little more in the Carioca dispute. Although Rossi appears as a likely starter, Andrew could gain minutes at the State Championship.

In the meantime, all of Filipe Luís’ doubts about Flamengo’s lineup will be resolved in training this Friday (06). At Ninho do Urubu, the coach and the technical committee will analyze the best options for this game, especially.

What is Flamengo’s situation?

Currently, Flamengo occupies fifth place in Grupo Bdo Carioca. As a result, Rubro-Negro needs to finish in the top four places to continue competing for the state title. For this, however, Fla does not just depend on the result itself.

Therefore, to advance to the Carioca knockout stage, Flamengo needs to win the duel against Sampaio Corrêa, in addition to hoping for at least one three trips from Madureira, Boavista or Nova Iguaçu.

What are the game and broadcast details?

Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa will compete in the sixth round of Carioca starting at 9pm (Brasília time) this Saturday (07). The confrontation will take place at Maracanã. Finally, SporTV (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) broadcast the duel.
