Two sides struggling in the Brasileiro Serie A will face each other this weekend when Flamengo welcomes América Mineiro to Estádio do Maracanã in their 14th round in the top flight. Match day schedules for June 26, 2022 at 01:00 EAT.
After a series of disappointing performances recently, we are hoping that the hosts will now turn their attention back to the Brasileiro Serie A, where they currently sit 14th in the table with 15 points. Flamengo is one of the only two teams in the top flight that has lost four of their last five matches, the other on e being Juventude at the rock bottom of the standings.
Flamengo will want better results following 2-1 Copa do Brasil loss at the hands of Atlético Mineiro in their previous match. In that game, Flamengo had 61% possession, 10 shots with two of them on target and a goal scored by Lazaro (80’). Atlético Mineiro got sevn shots with four of them on target and goals by Hulk (7’) and Ademir (55’).
Meanwhile, Atlético Mineiro sits in the 16th spot with 15 points to their name, level with Flamengo. America has won only one of their last 10 matches across all competitions, and they may struggle to turn their fortunes around on Saturday as they have lost each of their last six visits to Flamengo.
América Mineiro is hoping to bounce back from 1-0 Serie A defeat to Fortaleza in their last outing. In that game, América Mineiro managed 49% possession and 14 shots with four of them on target. Fortaleza got 18 shots with eight of them on target and a goal by Yago Pikachu (43′).
