On the Brazilian field, within the Guanabara Cup, Sampaio Correa and Esporti RJ lock horns with Bangu.
Sampaio Correa claimed victory over Madureira by a scoreline of 2:1 in their last match. After conceding an early goal to the opposition in the 3rd minute, Sampaio Correa managed to equalise in the 14th minute and then take the lead in the 58th minute, thereby securing the win. In the 2024 current season of the Campeonato Carioca, Sampaio Correa and Esporti are sitting in the 11th position of the league table after 8 fixtures. They have 1 win, 6 losses and 1 draw. They have netted a total of 6 goals, conceded 14, thereby earning 4 points, the team has seen 1 win and 4 losses back to back. Madureira is 8th in the league with 10 points after playing 9 matches, which includes 3 victories and 5 defeats.
In their last match fixture in the Carioca championship, Bangu faced Flamengo and got defeated by a 0:3 scoreline. The fixture happened on 16th February. Despite efforts, the Bangu team couldn't handle the counter attacks, Flamengo's skipper Pedro scored a hat trick; first in the 25th minute, then in the 58th minute and finally in the 77th minute. In the current Carioca Championship, Bangu is at the 10th place in the standings. They've competed in 8 matches so far, out of which they won 1, lost 5 and drew 2 matches. Their goal differential stands at 7:16 and have just managed to accumulate 5 points thus far. The club's current form includes 1 win and 2 draws. Flamengo, meanwhile, reaches second place in the league table, also competed in 8 matches for the 2024 season, and have secured 5 wins without a single loss. The team has accumulated 18 points and continues to show consistency in the tournament.
Both teams languish in the relegation zone and are amongst the lowest scorers in the tournament, I reckon the total goals would be under 2.5.
