Another interesting game in the Carioca 1. Fluminense is in the 2nd position after playing five matches. They welcome Flamengo who are placed 1st after six games.
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. It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Fluminense and Flamengo.
