Mais Querido will have the return of power forward Olivinha

FlaBasquete takes to the court once again for the Copa Avianca. This Sunday (29) the Pride of the Nation will face Vasco da Gama, at 17 pm. The match will serve as another test for the main objective of the season, and promises to be the most difficult game for Mais Querido in the competition, due to the rivalry and quality present in both teams. 

Flamengo will be counting on the return of power forward Olivinha, who underwent surgery to remove a kidney stone and joined the squad last Friday. The number 16, the leading rebounder in the South American League, promises to be another crucial player for coach José Neto's squad to emerge victorious. 

Retrospect

In the last match between the two teams, a NBB match, the Rubro-Negro team emerged victorious by a score of 94-86. Marquinhos was the standout for Mais Querido with 25 points and 7 assists. Watch the match through the lens of FlaTV.
