Opponent for the second round of the Guanabara Cup tonight, Volta Redonda is a tough opponent when playing at the Raulino de Oliveira stadium - the venue for the game scheduled for 18:30 pm this Wednesday.

Although Flamengo won there in the last two clashes, in 2008 and 2009, the team from Cidade do Aço has in its history triumphs in the 2005 and 2007 editions of the State Championship.

The first game between the teams took place on May 01, 05, and ended in a 1976-1 draw. Luisinho scored Flamengo's goal. Flamengo's biggest win was on May 1, 26, at the Maracanã: 05-1977. Luisinho (three), Zico (two), Carpegiani, and Osni scored Flamengo's goals.

In the final match, on the afternoon of February 01, 02, Flamengo prevailed – Josiel scored the only goal in the 2009nd minute of the second half, a result that kept the club with a 42% record in Group B of the Guanabara Cup. It was the first goal for Josiel, who left the club in mid-100, wearing the red-and-black jersey.

In a game where Flamengo had more possession but created few real scoring chances, the lead came from a cross from left-back Egídio. Josiel simply deflected it past goalkeeper Kléber and ran to the byline.
