Preparations complete! Flamengo held their final training session this Saturday morning (27) at Ninho do Urubu, ahead of the classic against Botafogo, which takes place tomorrow (28) at 11 am at Maracanã. The match is valid for the fourth round of the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro is currently in second place with seven points in the standings.
Coach Tite presided over the final training session to determine the starting lineup for the match against the black and whites. The only absence will be Everton Cebolinha, who is still recovering from an injury. If they win the match, the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved) could take the lead in the national competition.
In their recent record against Botafogo, Mengão has won eight matches and lost only two in their last 11. In the Brasileirão, the teams have faced each other 65 times in history, with 24 wins for the red-and-blacks, compared to 14 for the black-and-whites, and 27 draws.
