Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games but his attack has scored regularly as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches in this competition. In his home matches for this competition there is a tendency towards few goals, since in 12 of the last 13 that disputed there were less than 3 goals.

Flamengo is a club that adds five titles of the Brazilian Championship Series A, being the last title conquered in 2009, besides having three titles of the Glass of Brazil and a title of the Glass Liberators, conquered in 1981. In the current season, the team has been making a good campaign within the national championship, winning 45 of the 75 points played thus far, being thus among the first placed and within the classification zone for the Copa Libertadores. In the last five games that Flamengo played as principal, counting only the national championship, in four of them the team scored their goals. I believe that in this match Flamengo will be able to score again, but that by playing against a strong opponent can also suffer goals.
