Only a few games have been played in the Carioca 1 so far, with Flamengo placed 1st and Fluminense sitting in the 2nd position.
This is the Fla-Flu. It’s not a scary infection caused by some nasty virus, but the name given to any football match between the two Rio de Janeiro rivals Flamengo and Fluminense. Flamengo’s football team was created by Fluminense ex-players, starting a rivalry played out at the magnificent Maracanã Stadium which the two teams share. Expect an incredible atmosphere. There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
