The Brazilian Under-20 Championship is back after more than two weeks of suspension. Fourth in the competition, with 23 points, Flamengo will face Corinthians, this Wednesday (11), at 21:30 pm, at the Luso Brasileiro Stadium. The match, valid for the 13th round, will be broadcast by Sportv.
In their previous match, the red-and-black team was defeated 2-1 by leaders Palmeiras, who played at home on the synthetic turf of Arena Barueri, where the professional teams usually play, unable to play at Allianz Parque in São Paulo. Seeking to maintain first place, the São Paulo team has 27 points and will face third-place RB Bragantino, with 23.
With a win against 15th-place Corinthians (14 points), Flamengo could move into third place, provided Bragantino loses. They could also tie second-place Athletico-PR, which will have more wins. To do so, the Paraná team needs to lose to Fluminense away from home.
So far, the Rubro-Negro has six wins, two draws, and four losses in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. With six goals, striker Pedro Leão is the team's top scorer so far. The number 9 has the same number of goals contributed. Suspended after receiving a third yellow card, striker Shola is a certain out against Corinthians.
