Flamengo, with the twist in their favor, and Corinthians play the final match of the KO tournament after 0-0 in the first leg
Mengao, who is a finalist in the Copa Libertadores, is a favorite against Timao who is facing the most important clash of the year
Flamengo and Corinthians will decide in 90 minutes the new champion of the Copa do Brasil, with Maracana as the majestic stage (at 02:45 CEST). Everything is open after the first leg battle, in the Neo Química Arena, was falsely closed with a 0-0.
In this second, and definitive assault, Mengao trusts in the strength of his twist, which will fill the Rio coliseum, and in being able to materialize his superiority in quality and number of decisive effects in a victory. There is no denying that the Cariocas have the best squad on the continent.
The pressure is everything for the locals, who are used to dealing with maximum pressure matches, and that, in ten days, they will face their great challenge: their third Copa Libertadores final in four seasons, this time in Guayaquil against Ath. Paranaense, by Luiz Felipe Scolari.
For Corinthians, on the other hand, this is the match of the yearand does not want to pass up the possibility of winning a national title again after a five-year hiatus, since the last triumph dates back to the Brasileirao in 2017.
Dorival Junior, who has asked his team to forget about the Libertadores, will introduce a mandatory change in the line-up. The interior Joao Gomes, who is on the agenda of Sevilla and Real Madridwill not be due to accumulation of cards and his place will be occupied by Arturo vidalwho seeks to win his first title with the red and black shirt.
The Portuguese Vítor Pereira will have all his troops and he could repeat the same eleven from the first leg, with the intention of keeping his goal zero and, as a lesser evil, playing for the title on penalties (there is no extra time as usual in South America).
