Rubro-Negro and Tricolor will meet this Saturday (11th), at the Maracanã, for the 34th round of the competition
Flamengo and Fluminense will face each other this Saturday 11th, at 6.30pm (Brasilia time), at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the 34th day of the Brazilian Championship. With different moments and aspirations in the tournament, Rubro-Negro and Tricolor protagonists of the sixth classic of the season.
But, ultimately, what does the comparison represent for each team?
FLAMENGO
Looking for a boost in the Brazilian championship and to return to the fight for the national title, Flamengo needs an excellent performance to secure the enea and end the season in a less bitter way.
With only three points less than leaders Botafogo, Rubro-Negro must beat Fluminense to continue chasing the top of the table.
The direction of the final stretch of the Brasileirão 2023 has many coincidences with the 2009 edition, when Flamengo was in a similar situation and led a success story towards the title. For the Rossoneri the scenario could repeat itself and the hope for the next scudetto is very much alive.
FLUMINENSE
Without much interest in the Brazilian championship, Fluminense sees the competition as a sort of preparation for the Club World Cup, given that there are still six games left in the intercontinental tournament.
However, Fernando Diniz should not expose his main players, as he suggested in the match against Internacional, in which Cano and Marcelo did not travel, while Ganso only came on in the second half.
However, Team de Guerreiros can put an end to a streak of seven games without winning the classics, three against Flamengo. Furthermore, Laranjeiras’ team have failed to score goals against Rubro-Negro in their last three meetings and a triumph could spell the end of their biggest rival’s Brazilian league title dream.
