Brasileirao
Flamengo vs Fortaleza
Flamengo and Fortaleza face each other this Saturday, at 17h, in Maracanã, for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. The home team is rocked by the good performance in the 5 to 3 against Bahia in the last match, and there is also the extra motivation to assume the provisional vice-leadership in case of victory.
Flamengo starts the round in sixth position, with 11 points. Fortaleza, which comes from a defeat in the classic with Ceará, is the tenth with eight points. The last victory of the Ceará club against Flamengo as a visitor occurred in the Brazil Cup of 2016, 2-1, in Volta Redonda. In Maracanã, Tricolor has not triumphed over Rubro-Negro since 2003.
