Flamengo welcome Bragantino for another interesting Serie A fixture here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho.
It's no vacation for neither Flamengo nor Bragantino as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Flamengo form and stats
Perfect Serie A season at home so far for Flamengo 2 wins from 2 appearances. Flamengo has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho. We remember; it was Vasco da Gama.
Flamengo are confident in defense, having played 211 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Flamengo's previous game was a Copa do Brasil match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Coritiba. The home side are looking to build on that result. Vitinho (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.84/10. Vitinho scored one goal, hit six key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 38 successful passes (of 42 total).
Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against América Mineiro.The match schedule is unforgiving for Flamengo as they have a new game in only four days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Fortaleza are visiting.
At Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho, Flamengo has the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Bragantino form and stats
Bragantino are yet to lose a point on their Serie A travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games. Bragantino has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Bragantino play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Corinthians (placed 11th). Artur got a match rating of 8.3 in that game, top player of the team. Artur served one assist, hit five key passes and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Nogueira Barbieri when Ramires scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 68th minute.
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Fluminense.A new game in only four days for Bragantino, the Serie A home match versus Palmeiras. Busy days.
It's early days yet, but Bragantino has scored 5 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Last two meetings between the teams: Flamengo won zero, Bragantino won zero and two draws. zero games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
