It's still early in the Carioca 1 season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Flamengo - Boavista preview!
Flamengo and Boavista should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Boavista have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Flamengo form and stats
As mentioned below, Flamengo are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Carioca 1 games. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of eight straight victories regardless of arena. It’s been three wins in a row for Flamengo here at Estádio João Francisco dos Santos, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
A strong away win for Flamengo against Bangu the last match, as Pedro, Bruno Henrique and G. De Arrascaeta were on target. Sensational by Flamengo last match, beating Bangu away as big underdogs. Before that, Flamengo had a home game versus Portuguesa RJ which ended with a victory 2-1.
Flamengo are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Palmeiras awaits in one day.
Early season league goal statistics from Flamengo's 2 home games: 5 goals, 1 conceded.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Boavista goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 200 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
