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.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
There haven't been much to rest for the hosts, as they featured in a Copa Sudamericana game only three days earlier. That game was an away game at Oriente Petrolero, so at least Fluminense are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
