On July 6, Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro) will host the first leg of the 1/4 final match of the Copa do Brasil, in which Flamengo will compete with Atletico Paranaense. The battle will start at 02:30 CET.

Flamengo

The club is competing with Palmeiras for the unspoken title of the strongest Brazilian team right now. Speaking about 2019-2020, “the Vultures” were the national champions. And there was only the 5th place in the previous season of the Serie A, but, at the same time, it turned out, as it happened in 2019, to win the Copa Libertadores again. Still, the new cycle started unsuccessfully, and, as a result, the mentor was replaced in the spring – Jorge Sampaoli arrived in Rio. It brings its effect. The Brazilian team, having started a new Copa draw with a sensational defeat to Aucas, eventually got 11 points in the following matches, making it to the play-offs. Moreover, it started winning most of the matches in the Serie A, even if it was not without a “slap” in the form of a 0-4 score in the confrontation with Red Bull Bragantino. Taking into account the previous round, Flamenco rehabilitated itself in front of the fans, winning the battle against Fortaleza with a 2-0 score.

Atletico Paranaense

The team is making good progress, but mostly at the international arena. It took the Copa Sudamericana in 2018 and 2021 and repeated its best result in the form of reaching the final in the previous cycle. Still, that backfired on the fact that the team achieved only the 6th place in the Serie A in 2022. By the way, this was enough for “the Red and Blacks” to play again in the main tournament of South America, and, having got 13 points there, it confidently advanced to the play-offs. Speaking about Brasileiro, victories and defeats are approximately equal so far – by the way, “the Furacão” mostly got the points at the home arena. Although the team hosted Palmeiras, it demonstrated a spectacular, but difficult duel in the previous round.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Flamengo has won three matches in a row in 2022, including a 1-0 success in the Copa Libertadores final. Atlético Paranaense achieved a home 2-1 score in May.

Predictions

Bookmakers naturally consider the hosts to be the unspoken favourite of the following battle. Thus, we bet on Flamengo with “a -1 goal handicap” (odd: 1.85).
