After more than two weeks of interruption, the Brazilian Under-20 Championship returns with a heavyweight clash in the 13th round. This Wednesday (11), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo will host Corinthians at the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro. The game will be broadcast live on the closed channel SporTV.
In fourth place with 23 points, Mais Querido enters the field with an eye on the possibility of moving up one position in the table. To do so, in addition to winning the duel against Corinthians, Rubro-Negro needs to count on RB Bragantino slipping up against leader Palmeiras. With this combination, the Rio de Janeiro club can take third place or, at the very least, tie in points with Athletico-PR, second place, if the team from Paraná is defeated by Fluminense.
In the previous match, the team led by Nuno Campos lost 2-1 to Palmeiras, away from home, at Arena Barueri. The match was played on synthetic grass, where the São Paulo team also plays its professional team games. With the result, Rubro-Negro has accumulated six wins, two draws and four losses so far in the tournament.
Pedro Leão is the main name in Flamengo 's attack in the competition. With six goals scored, the number 9 leads both in number of goals and direct participation in offensive plays . On the other hand, the Rio de Janeiro team will be without striker Shola, who will serve a suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Corinthians comes into the match under pressure. In 15th place, with only 14 points, the São Paulo club is urgently seeking a recovery to distance itself from the relegation zone. Facing Mengão away from home represents another difficult challenge for the black and white team, which has only won three games in the competition so far.
FLAMENGO : Lucas Furtado; Wanderson, Da Mata, Iago, Daniel Sales; Fabiano, Rayan, Jorge Mora, Guilherme; Pedro Leão and Shola's replacement (to be defined). Coach: Nuno Campos.
CORINTHIANS : Cadu; Vitinho, Fernando, Denner, Lorenzo; Coach: Orlando Ribeiro.
Former Mengão player says that, if the team scores a goal, he will celebrate, and emphasizes that the classic is decisive in the fight for the Brasileirão title.
