League leaders Flamengo will face Fortaleza at the Maracana Stadium in the 16th round of the 2024 Brasileiro season.

Flamengo's quest for a third consecutive victory was halted as they settled for a 1-1 draw against a struggling Cuiaba side in their latest match. Tite's team fell behind early but managed to equalize through striker Pedro in the second half. Despite maintaining their position at the top of the Brasileiro table, their lead over second-placed Botafogo has narrowed to just one point.

Next up for Flamengo is a match against a team they comfortably defeated in both encounters last season, winning by a combined score of 4-0. After ending their seven-game home winning streak in their last outing, Flamengo will be eager to return to winning ways in front of their home crowd.

On the other hand, Fortaleza secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Fluminense in their recent match at Castelao Stadium. Despite dominating much of the game, Juan Vojvoda's side had to wait until the 57th minute for Juan Lucero to score the decisive goal. With 23 points from 14 matches, Fortaleza sits eighth in the standings, just two points away from the Copa Libertadores qualification spots.

However, Fortaleza has struggled away from home, winning just once in their last 10 matches on the road. They will be determined to reverse their fortunes in their upcoming clash.
