The main club competition in one of the most soccer-loving countries in the world, the Brasileirão Serie A, kicks off this Saturday with three heart-stopping matches, Fluminense vs. Santos; Atlético-GO vs. Flamengo, and Palmeiras vs. Ceará. This will be the twentieth edition of the consecutive points and in 2022, the tournament will end earlier than expected, specifically on November 13, due to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which begins on November 21.
The current edition of the Brasileirão Serie A has the same favorites as last year: Flamengo, Atlético Mineiro, and Palmeiras. No wonder all three have won four of the last five seasons. Other teams that are also called to be protagonists this season are Corinthians, São Paulo, and Fluminense.
The Brasileirao is full of stars, and that gives a spectacle to a very soccer-loving fan that enjoys its important figures before they emigrate to Europe or when they decide to return, in most cases, while still having a lot of soccer to play. And in others, they are the best footballers on the continent, and now even footballers who left Russia and Ukraine due to the conflict.

What better match to start a season of one of the most competitive leagues in the world, the Brasileirão Serie A, than this one between two historical referents of Brazilian soccer, Santos vs. Fluminense. This will be the game that kicks off a new season full of emotions and will be played at the Maracanã Stadium, home of Fluminense, this Saturday, April 9.
Santos arrives at the Brasileirão 2022 with more doubts than certainties. Since, if they repeat the performance shown in the Paulista Championship when they were about to go down for the second consecutive year, Peixe’s life will not be easy and Santos will have many problems being at the top of the standings.
Meanwhile, the Rio de Janeiro champion after ten years, Fluminense, arrives at this Brasileirão 2022 having experienced a mix of sensations in the season. After a devastating start, with twelve consecutive victories, came the frustration of falling in the last qualifying phase of the CONMEBOL Libertadores.

The second game of this first day of Brasileirão 2022 will be between Atlético Goianiense and Flamengo, which will play this Saturday, April 9, 2022, at 05:00 pm ET.
With the arrival of coach Paulo Sousa, Flamengo is still in the adjustment process, with many tests made by the Portuguese in the new tactical scheme that he implemented, 3-4-3. In nine games in charge of the team so far, he has had nine different lineups. The main challenge was the Super Cup, against Atlético-MG. Despite the loss on penalties, the team made a good impression throughout the 90 minutes.
Due to the signings they made, Atlético-GO is expected to play at a much higher level. Unlike other years, the club invested money in reinforcements. If the names that arrived are good on paper (Dellatorre, Leandro Barcia, and Jorginho), in practice the team continues with many doubts.

We close the first day of the Championship with the match between Palmeiras and Ceará, two teams with completely different approaches and squads, but they have the same hunger, the same desire, and the same confidence to be decisive this season and to be at the top of the standings table.

On the other hand, Ceará is already qualified for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Nordeste. The team tries to reach another final of the competition. While they are also in the second phase of the Copa do Brasil.
