Flamengo vs Ceara
Flamengo will meet with Ceara in the 35th week of the Brazilian Serie A match, where the match will be held at the Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho. Playing as a guest team Ceara has big ambitions even though they realize that the match will be very difficult. Ceara who is ranked 16th in the standings is struggling hard to avoid the relegation zone.
This season still leaves 4 more matches and Ceara also still has hope not to be relegated. But unfortunately Ceara’s ambitions were not supported by satisfactory performance, although they had reaped a win over Internacional in the previous 4 matches but the next 3 matches they failed to win again. Defeated against Fortaleza and Chapecoense then drew last week.
As for Flamengo, being firm at the top of the table will have no effect on this result, because the team that just won the Copa Libertadores has also confirmed itself to be the Brazilian Serie A champion after the fall of Palmeiras at home 1-2 when entertaining Gremio. Flamengo successfully married the two titles after the last time in the era of football legend Pele.
Interestingly, despite ensuring the title, Flamengo’s job in the remaining 4 games this season is to maintain the prestige as the defending champion. Including beating Ceara in this fight, at the previous first round meeting Ceara was helpless before his own supporters with a 3 goal defeat without reply from Flamengo. Seeing this most likely Ceara will be defeated.
