Flamengo has already released pressure this year, which was especially visible in the last 2 matches – a draw with Sport Recife and a loss with Santos. Many players from the first suit injured and pauses for cards, the coach is taking to squad who he has, they cannot play: Alves, Arao, Caio , Diego, Filipe Luis, Henrique, Isla, Michael, Thiago Maia. Their team spirit and shape is under a big question mark. The hosts, from the other hand, are still playing football, if they win, they can jump into the premium places to play in the Copa Libertadores qualifications.
