- Flamengo have the the best goal difference (+10) in Carioca Serie A
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a FIFA Club World Cup game only four days ago. That game, against Al Ahly, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Flamengo.
Volta Redonda form and stats
3 victories, 0 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Volta Redonda have to build on here at Estádio Municipal General Raulino de Oliveira in the Carioca Serie A.
The club members are hoping that Volta Redonda will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the match against Portuguesa RJ (placed 9th). The first defeat after collecting points in four league games.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fluminense in a game that was won 1-0.The Volta Redonda manager Correa has got the team scoring with 10 from 4 home games in the league. Redonda have conceded 5 in these home matches.
Flamengo form and stats
Things could have gone better for Flamengo in their Carioca Serie A away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right.
Two travels in a row for Flamengo, whose coach de Oliveira could celebrate last time after the FIFA Club World Cup win against Al Ahly.
The game before that was the FIFA Club World Cup-duel against Al Hilal, a home defeat (2-3).
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Flamengo manager de Oliveira as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Resende.
Flamengo have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
