Rubro-Negro head to Botafogo hoping for another win to keep pace in the Taça Guanabara race.
Flamengo continues their run in the Carioca Championship this Saturday, aiming to stay atop the state competition and move closer to the Taça Guanabara title. The squad featuring Arturo Vidal and Eric Thors visit Botafogo after a 2-0 win over Resende, with Antofagasta starting the match for their side. That result kept Flamengo undefeated through six wins and two draws as they press for more success.
The 2023 schedule and numbers for King and Thumb are noted here.
Under coach Luis Castro, Botafogo had just put an end to a six-match unbeaten streak with a 2-0 loss to Vasco da Gama at Maracanã. The defeat left Fogão in second place with 16 points, and they will look to limit Flamengo’s advance in the standings as the season moves forward.
In their most recent meeting, Flamengo claimed a 1-0 victory in the Brasileirão thanks to a late strike from a former Inter Milan forward. That goal sealed the win after a solid team performance at Nilton Santos Stadium on the twenty-fourth round. It marked the striker’s second goal for Tricampeão, following an earlier four-goal performance against Athletico Goianiense.
The game will be broadcast exclusively on the Eleven Sports platform, accessible via Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari on PC or Mac, and on Chrome or Safari on Android and iOS devices.
