FLAMENGO FACES CUIABÁ FOR THE BRASILEIRÃO TRYING TO KEEP TABOO

Flamengo's next game is approaching, and the big mission of the week is to create fat at the top of the table. With the victory over Atlético-MG last Wednesday (3), the club opened a three-point lead over Botafogo and Palmeiras. The Palmeirenses drew 2-2 with Grêmio, allowing Mengão to extend their advantage. Now, the challenge is against Cuiabá, at Maracanã.

Cuiabá has a taboo to try to break in the next match. The club never beat Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro. Of all six games in history between the clubs, the opponent only won once. The victory was 3-0, but it happened at home. At Maracanã, Mais Querido tries to maintain the important taboo.

Of the other five games between Flamengo and Cuiabá, Rubro-Negro emerged victorious on four occasions, with one 0-0 draw. Counting only home games, Flamengo won twice and drew once in three matches. Cuiabá's task will not be easy, as Rubro-Negro is going through a great moment in the championship.

The Flamengo team has been backed by a series of good results and seeks to maintain consistency to further distance itself from the leadership of the championship. With the advantage of playing at home and the support of the fans, the team hopes to win three more points. The victory over Atlético-MG brought confidence to the squad, which promises an offensive game against Cuiabá.

The Flamengo coach must have maximum strength for the match , taking advantage of the good moment of its main players. The expectation is for a packed Maracanã, with the fans pushing the team to yet another victory. The objective is to increase the advantage in the table and consolidate the leadership, while Cuiabá seeks to surprise and break the historical taboo.
