Flamengo

The "Vultures" aren't in the race for the title this season, sitting fifth in the league with a seven-point gap behind the leaders. However, the team is in good form, with a five-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Recently, Flamengo clinched the national cup title, defeating Atlético Mineiro over two legs in the final.

In the league, finishing in the top five is essential for Flamengo to secure a direct berth in the Copa Libertadores. A win in this upcoming match would allow them to climb to fourth place in the standings.

Atlético Mineiro

The "Roosters" sit in 11th place in the league but have two games in hand. It seems that the team may have sacrificed their league campaign to focus on other tournaments. They reached the Copa do Brasil final, though they lost, and their main achievement is reaching the Copa Libertadores final, where they’ll face Botafogo in late November.

Atlético Mineiro is struggling, winless in their last five games across all competitions. A strong finish in the league could see them reach the top seven, which would secure a Copa Libertadores qualification spot, though that seems unlikely.

Probable Lineups

• Flamengo: Rossi, Alex Sandro, Leo Pereira, Leo Ortiz, Wesley, Everton, Pulgar, Michael, De Arrascaeta, Gerson, Gabriel
• Atlético Mineiro: Everson, Lyanco, Battaglia, Alonso, Gustavo Scarpa, Otavio, Zaracho, Franco, Guilherme Arana, Eduardo Vargas, Deyverson

Match Facts

Prediction

Flamengo enters this match as the favorite, bolstered by home advantage and a strong head-to-head record. Given that Atlético Mineiro’s focus may be elsewhere, I believe Flamengo has a better chance of securing the victory. My pick is a straightforward win for Flamengo.
