Everything is ready for another classic! Mengão finished this Tuesday morning (7), at Ninho do Urubu, the preparation for the match against Fluminense, which will be played tomorrow (8), at 21:10 pm, at Maracanã, for the 11th round of the Campeonato Carioca. The game is worth the Taça Guanabara title, and Mais Querido, leader of the competition with 23 points, will have the advantage of a draw to win the 24th trophy of the competition.

Coach Vitor Pereira led a tactical session to define the team that will start the Fla x Flu match. The Flamengo coach will be without David Luiz and Thiago Maia, who are recovering from injuries. Bruno Henrique continues his physical conditioning process and will soon return to the field.

Flamengo and Fluminense have faced each other 440 times, with Flamengo holding the advantage. They have won 160 times, drawn 141, and lost 139. In the last three editions of the Carioca Championship, Flamengo won two titles and Fluminense won one.
