Your house, my house: Flamengo is the most unwanted visitor in the Brasileirão
With three wins in five away games, Rubro-Negro remains at the top of the table and remains firm in the search for a place in the Libertadores

With the victory over Santa Cruz on the night of last Wednesday (22), at Arruda, Flamengo is today the team that has won the most away from home in this edition of the Brazilian Championship. In the G-4, in fourth place, with 17 points, Rubro-negro has 52,9% of use as a visitor.
They've won three of their five games: 2-1 over Ponte Preta and 1-0 against Cruzeiro and Santa Cruz. And the defense is showing its versatility. Jorge and Arão, with shots from outside the box, and Réver, with a pinpoint header, scored Flamengo's three goals. The first goal against Macaca was a "friendly fire" save by Felipe Azevedo, the team's striker.
At the moment, only Palmeiras, Internacional and Grêmio are ahead of Mais Querido in the table. The São Paulo team has only one victory away from home, precisely against Fla. Tricolor Gaúcho also has only one victory as a visitor. Internacional is the only club that has the chance to equal the red-black number in the remainder of the round, this Thursday (23), against Coritiba, at Couto Pereira.
With nine games remaining in the first half of the season, Flamengo has already reached half of its total number of away wins in the 2015 Brasileirão, when it won six away matches in 38 rounds.
The strong away performance parallels Zé Ricardo's excellent performance in charge of the team. Under the guidance of the coach, who rose from the youth team to take over the senior team at the end of May, the team earned 13 points out of 17 in the tournament with the coach on the sidelines.
