Flamengo seeks its fifth consecutive win of the season in this round of the Brazilian Championship, facing Corinthians at 5:30 PM at Maracanã. The red-black team occupies the Brasileirão leadership and tries to maintain the top of the table. The team's last win was against Independiente del Valle 2-0, in Quito, for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.
The last time Flamengo achieved five consecutive wins was five months ago, when they defeated Santos, Fluminense and Bahia in the Brasileirão, as well as Cusco and Independiente Medellín in the Libertadores. In that streak, the team scored 13 goals and conceded only three in five matches.
Besides these five wins, Flamengo also defeated Vitória in the Copa do Brasil and Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, totaling seven consecutive wins in the season. Coach Leonardo Jardim now seeks to repeat this feat and achieve the second positive streak of the season.
Corinthians is the opponent trying to stop this run by Flamengo. The match represents an opportunity for the red-black team to consolidate their position at the top of the Brazilian Championship and maintain the positive momentum coming from their qualification in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.
