Flamengo vs Fortaleza
Flamengo will host Fortaleza in Brazil’s Serie A week 7 on Sunday (01/06) early morning. The victory will be the target of Flamengo to cut the distance to the top of the standings.
Flamengo appeared inconsistently in the first 6 matches of the Brazilian league this season. They were only able to collect 3 wins and had to suffer 2 defeats in that period. With a score of 10 points they have, Flamengo must be content to sit in rank 6 of the standings with a distance of 6 points from Palmeiras at the top of the standings.
Fortaleza is no better, they are only able to collect 7 points from 6 matches resulting from 2 wins, 3 defeats and 1 draw. The new promotion team must be content to sit in 14th place in the standings and currently only 1 point away from CSA in the relegation zone.
This will be the first meeting of the two teams in the League since the last time in the 2006 season. At two meetings in the season Flamengo defeated Fortaleza at home with a score of 4-3 but was only able to play a goalless draw at home.
Nevertheless, the two teams also often meet in various events such as in the Copa do Brazil. It was noted, since 2009, the two teams met 5 times in the event with balanced results, which were both won 2 wins. This record should remind Flamengo, although Fortaleza was only able to play in the lower castes but they were still able to keep up with Flamengo. Flamengo must be careful if he does not want to be ashamed in his own cage.
