Osasco Audax under-20 and Flamengo under-20 will face each other on the afternoon of this Thursday, January 11, 2024, from 5:30 pm in a game valid for the 3rd and final round of the group stage of the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. The duel will be played in the city of Osasco, in São Paulo.

Osasco Audax

The Osasco Audax under-20 team arrives for this clash with the need to score to qualify for the next phase, but they do not expect to have an easy time against an opponent who has not yet lost points in their campaign.

However, Audax U20 will have the advantage of playing in front of their fans and is confident in the strength of their collective game to be able to surprise the Flamengo fans in this decisive round.

Their debut match was a slim victory over São Bento under-20 with a minimum score of 1-0, without great brilliance, however, with enough efficiency to pocket three precious points for their campaign.

Then, the red and white team faced São José-RS under-20 and got the worst of it, suffering a 2-0 defeat without being able to repeat the great performance of the debut round, leaving them in a very delicate situation in the fight for classification to the next phase.

Currently, the São Paulo team is in third place on the Group 19 leaderboard, with 3 points achieved so far, three points behind the leader, while São José-RS under-20 opens the access zone to the next phase with the same number of points, but has the advantage on goal difference.

Flamengo

Flamengo under-20, on the other hand, is four-times champion of the Copinha and arrives as a strong candidate to fight for the title again, considering that the red-black team has not yet managed to present the maximum of its potential and even so has done enough to register 100% success so far.

This is because the Cariocas debuted with a 2-1 victory over São José-RS under-20, encountering more difficulties than expected, but in the end the outcome served to leave them at the top of the group.

Afterwards, the Cariocas confirmed their good form by defeating São Bento under-20 by the same score of 2-1 to practically advance their place to the knockout stage of the tournament, considering that a simple draw would be enough to also guarantee the leadership of the group.

At the moment, the red-black club is in first place in Group 19 with 6 points achieved so far, having a three point advantage over the other competitors in G-2.

Conclusion:

As much as it left something to be desired in relation to the level of performance recorded previously, Flamengo under-20 has a technically more qualified squad and proved to be efficient enough to win the games despite the difficulties encountered, arriving with broad favoritism to confirm within field all the superiority that is pointed out to them.
