Flamengo and Bauru Basket face each other this Sunday (13), at 6 pm, at Ginásio Panela de Pressão, in a decisive clash in the final stretch of the qualifying phase of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). With two to three rounds remaining until the end of the first phase, the teams are still looking to consolidate their positions in the playoff bracket.

It's a team built to be champion...


The match marks the teams' reunion after the red-black victory in the first round . This time, Bauru is counting on the home advantage to seek revenge. Coach Paulo Jaú highlighted the strength of the opponent, but believes that the support of the fans can make the difference.


“We know the technical quality of the opposing team. It is a team that is set up to be champions , with a great rotation, that maintains the same level of intensity when it goes on the court. But we are also aware of our strength in front of the fans. We will be aware of these strengths and try to take away their volume of play so that we can come out with the result”, said the coach.


RACE FOR POSITIONS

The São Paulo team faces a difficult sequence in the final stretch, with clashes against Flamengo , Vasco and Botafogo. In the first round, there were three defeats against the Rio teams , something that Paulo Jaú wants to reverse now at home.


“In the first round, we came back from Rio de Janeiro feeling uneasy , as we lost all three matches . Now is the time to reverse these results at home,” he added.

Bauru still dreams of fourth place overall, but needs to win its three matches and hope that Brasília stumbles. On the other hand, if it doesn't get at least two wins , it could drop to eighth place in the table.

FLAMENGO SEEKS TO CONFIRM VICE-LEADERSHIP

Already qualified, Flamengo can no longer reach the leader Minas, who has 62 points with one game to play. With 57 points , Rubro-Negro can reach the maximum of 61 , but aims to secure second place.

The Rio de Janeiro team needs to beat Bauru this Sunday to mathematically secure second place , avoiding having to rely on a direct clash against Franca in the last round. If they win, FlaBasquete will reach 59 points and will no longer be able to be overtaken by the São Paulo team.

RED-BLACK AGENDA

Flamengo will have a decisive marathon in the coming weeks, with the final rounds of the NBB and the semifinals of the Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA). Check out the upcoming matches:

  • Brasilia x Flamengo – 04/08 – 8:30 pm (NBB)

Flamengo hosts Estudiantes this Thursday (19), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. For this decisive duel, tarot reader Luiz Filho, from the “Renascer das Cartas” channel on YouTube, indicated that Rubro-Negro enters the field as the favorite for the confrontation.


According to Luiz Filho, the team led by Filipe Luís will display "a lot of strength and boldness" on the field . The prediction suggests that Flamengo must act practically and objectively to achieve its objectives in the duel, while also maintaining calm and composure to control the action and dictate the pace of the game at Maracanã.


On the other hand, the tarot reader pointed out that Estudiantes could experience fluctuations throughout the match, which could compromise the Argentine team's performance. For Luiz Filho, this scenario increases Flamengo's chances of achieving a favorable score in the first leg , giving them an advantage in the decisive away clash.


PROBABLE FLAMENGO

After training last Wednesday (17), the tendency is for coach Filipe Luís to send onto the field a Flamengo with: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; De La Cruz (Allan), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.


PACKED MARACANÃ

The Red-Black Nation promises another great party. All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing the presence of over 69,000 fans. This should be Flamengo's largest crowd in this edition of the Libertadores. The expectation is to repeat the solid performance of the round of 16, when the team eliminated Internacional with two wins and qualified 3-0 on aggregate.
