Flamengo e Botafogo duelam, neste domingo, às 18h30, no Maracanã, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. Em segundo colocado com 17 pontos — dois atrás do Palmeiras —, o rubro-negro segue em busca da liderança na nona rodada e tem como “carta na manga” o faro de gol de Bruno Henrique, não à toa conhecido como “Rei dos Clássicos”. Já o alvinegro passou a ocupar a primeira parte da tabela — nono lugar —, após a goleada por 4 a 0 sobre o Internacional, e aposta na boa fase de Igor Jesus, que marcou nos dois últimos jogos. Em um jogo marcado pela rivalidade, fica a questão: quem vai fazer o gol no confronto? O GLOBO reuniu dados recentes que indicam os prováveis protagonistas da partida.
Melhor aproveitamento no confronto
Não é exagero dizer que Bruno Henrique tornou-se um verdadeiro carrasco do Botafogo. O atacante já marcou 15 gols em sete jogos, o que representa uma média de 2,14 por partida. O rival é a terceira maior vítima do jogador, ficando apenas atrás de Vasco e Athletico-PR. Pela Supercopa do Brasil deste ano, ele decidiu o confronto ao balançar as redes duas vezes na vitória rubro-negra por 3 a 1.
Do lado alvinegro, Matheus Martins tem o melhor retrospecto do elenco: dois gols em três confrontos, mas ele está fora da partida com uma lesão muscular na coxa esquerda. Quem assume de vez o protagonismo no ataque é Igor Jesus, que marcou uma vez diante do rival em três oportunidades.
Artilheiros na temporada
Apesar da pontaria não ser o ponto mais forte do seu jogo, Arrascaeta tem o melhor início de temporada da carreira. O meia já fez dez gols em 22 jogos, o que o credencia como o atual artilheiro do Campeonato Brasileiro. Sob o comando de Filipe Luís, o uruguaio vem superando os problemas físicos e adotou um perfil até então desconhecido como goleador.
Mesmo sendo centroavante, Igor Jesus é mais conhecido pela contribuição ofensiva do que propriamente por balançar as redes. Com seis gols em 21 partidas, o camisa 99 lidera a artilharia do time na temporada.
Últimos cinco confrontos
O Flamengo ganhou duas vezes do rival nesta temporada (Supercopa do Brasil e Carioca). Embora chegue com duas vitórias seguidas no clássico, o rubro-negro perdeu os dois jogos do Brasileiro no ano passado, com direito a uma goleada por 4 a 1, no Nilton Santos.

Jon Rahm and the PGA Championship comeback-turned-collapse he won’t soon forget
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It will stay with Jon Rahm that in an alternate history, Sunday would’ve, could’ve, should’ve been a career-pivoting moment back to the top of the heap. A spot he knows well. You don’t have to squint to still see the guy who ranked No. 1 in the world for 52 weeks. Or the guy who finished birdie-birdie to win the 2021 U.S. Open. Or the man who outlasted a near washout at Augusta to win the 2023 Masters in a runaway.AdvertisementThat’s who Jon Rahm is.But that’s not who Jon Rahm has been, at least not for the better part of two years.That is, until the middle of this warm Sunday afternoon at Quail Hollow.Rahm knew the situation, knew exactly where he stood. A tap-in birdie on No. 10 brought him to within one stroke of Scottie Scheffler. […]
Red Sox manager Alex Cora to miss Monday’s game vs. Mets to attend daughter’s college graduation
The Boston Red Sox will be without manager Alex Cora on Monday, though he’s got a pretty good reason for his absence.Instead of being with the Red Sox for their series opener against the New York Mets at Fenway Park, Cora will attend his daughter Camila's college graduation ceremony at Boston College. And, rightfully so, Cora has absolutely no regrets about his decision.“It’s going to be a very special day, one that I’m not going to miss,” Cora said before the team’s 10-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, via The Associated Press. “I 100% will miss the game for that. I will do that any given day. It’s going to be a very special day for us.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementCora is in his seventh season as the Red Sox’s manager this summer. He holds a 544-475 overall record, and he helped […]
Scottie Scheffler confirms use of backup driver, like Rory McIlroy, after originals failed USGA test
Getty Images Rory McIlroy did not have the week he wanted at Quail Hollow. The 2025 PGA Championship co-favorite at 5-1 failed to factor into the conversation on the weekend, sputtering to a 3 over finish. That effort came after reportedly needing to rely in a new driver after his standard driver failed USGA driver testing earlier in the week.McIlroy did not speak with the media after any of his rounds, so there has been no confirmation about the status of his driver, but either way, it was not a malicious effort from McIlroy to play with what was deemed illegal equipment. The USGA performs weekly tests to ensure players' driver faces haven't worn too thin over the course of normal use, making them springier and "hotter." The problem is that there is little in the way of transparency about the […]
Thunder vs. Timberwolves: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards? This series is irresistible
The Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t need 48 minutes to show how worthy they are of making the Western Conference finals for the first time in nearly a decade. It took maybe 18 minutes of game time to show the difference between themselves and a very hobbled, limited Denver Nuggets team, resulting in the lopsided 125-93 Game 7 final.But to be honest, even if Aaron Gordon had two good hamstrings instead of one, and even if Michael Porter Jr.’s left shoulder wasn’t made of papier-mâché, you feel like this would still be the result headed into the conference finals.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOklahoma City and Minnesota.Or in NBA terms, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards.Slow Penny vs. Young Mike.The presumptive Most Valuable Player against the most charismatic personality in the NBA.Want star power?

Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon critiques NBA’s playoff schedule, says it’s leading to lower level of basketball
Getty Images The second round of the 2025 playoffs was dominated by injuries. All three All-Stars from the Cleveland Cavaliers were hurt by the end of their second-round loss. The Boston Celtics was banged up even before Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles, with Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown playing through pain and Kristaps Porziņģis struggling with an illness. Stephen Curry missed almost the entirety of the Golden State Warriors' second-round matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a hamstring injury. And then, on Sunday, Aaron Gordon played through a hamstring injury as the Denver Nuggets were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves.Gordon suffered that injury on Thursday night in Game 6. He played again roughly 60 hours later on Sunday afternoon. It was a valiant effort as he pulled in 11 rebounds in defeat, but he was visibly hobbled. A number of […]
