This could be an interesting match as Fluminense have their presumed home advantage while Flamengo are ahead 3 points in the Serie A table.
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 no vacation for neither Fluminense nor Flamengo 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.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
