There will be a Flamengo-Fluminense, with an open forecast, in the round of 16 of the KO tournament in Brazil
The other crosses with hearth are At. Mineiro-Corinthians and Gremio-Cruzeiro
The draw for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil has given rise to a very hot Rio de Janeiro classic: a Flamengo-Fluminense, with a round trip in the Maracana. This will be the first confrontation between the two teams after deciding the Carioca Championship, with Tricolor endorsing ‘Mengao’ 4-1 after losing 2-0 in the first leg.
The ‘Flu’, under the direction of Fernando Dinizis one of the fittest teams in Brazilian football, while Flamengo is in the reformulation phase with the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli after the disastrous stage of the Portuguese Victor Pereira who lost the four titles at stake in four months (Supercopa do Brasil, Club World Cup, Recopa Sudamericana and Campeonato Carioca).
At the same time, there will be a cross between cupbearer specialists: Gremio-Cruzeiro. These two historic players who passed through Serie B last season do not play continental competitions, so their title hopes go through the KO tournament. Initially, the team Luis Suarez part with some favoritism.
Another point of attention will be the At. Mineiro-Corinthians. The team of Eduardo Coudet lives on a roller coaster and is one foot and a half out of the Copa Libertadores, while ‘Timao’, who just signed veteran Vanderlei Luxemburgono matter how much the current runner-up in the competition is, is going through a difficult time on all fronts.
These are all the qualifiers for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil:
- America Mineiro – International
- Sport Recife – Sao Paulo
- Ah. Paranaense – Botafogo
- Fluminense – Flamengo
- Santos FC – Bahia
- Palmeiras – Fortress
